Female prisoners are a lot like honest politicians: they exist but you never really hear about them. This series brings women who kill to the forefront, detailing a specific case in each episode, and then trying to answer the question of why they did what they did.

Rita Nitz is convicted and sentenced to life in prison for her participation in the murder of a local college student; Chanel Boyd is sentenced to 40 years in prison for the murder of her daughter.

Roena Ashing is sentenced to 40 years in prison for enlisting a group of friends to murder a mentally disabled man; Connie Keel is convicted of armed robbery and murder and sentenced to 25 years to life without parole.

Three women reveal how the things they did for love landed them in prison.

Delpha Spunaugle is serving a life sentence for the capital murder of her husband Dennis; Carmen Ortiz is serving 25 years for felony murder.
