Ken Taylor (
Michael Ontkean) lives in
New Jersey and is a
dentist in
Staten Island, NY. He marries Teresa Silvano. On their
honeymoon, Teresa is mysteriously beaten within an inch of her life. At the hospital, she tells her sister Angela that she cannot remember what happened and that Ken did not beat her. Ken's partners kick him out of his dental office partnership for stealing money from the
vault (Ken might have an addiction to cocaine). Teresa gives birth to their son, named Andrew. Ken murders Teresa and puts her body in the trunk of his car. He drives Andrew and his wife's dead body to
Indiana to give physical custody of Andrew to his parents. On the way back to New Jersey, Ken abandons the body in
Pennsylvania. He calls Teresa's sister Angela Cimarelli (
Valerie Bertinelli) and tells her that Teresa is a
drug addict and that she is in a
drug rehab center. The
police eventually find the dead body and arrest Ken, who is later found guilty of murder. His parents and Angela share custody of Andrew for a while. Ken's parents tried to legally
adopt Andrew, but the state of Indiana declares the adoption void. Angela and her husband Jerry Cimarelli (
Christopher Meloni) gain full parental custody of Andrew within a four-year time span. The movie was based on a true story. ==Cast==
