The Wives Did It

Rulon Allred is part of a Mormon fundamentalist sect in Salt Lake City and with seven wives and 48 kids, tensions and jealousies are inevitable. But things take a dark twist on an ordinary day in 1977, when a masked gunman fatally shoots Allred at work. The search is on for the Salt Lake City Police Department, and everyone is a suspect… even Allred’s seven wives. Have simmering tensions finally boiled over? Or did Rulon have an even more sinister enemy?

Law-breaking polygamist Jesse Cummings marches to the beat of his own unorthodox drum, and that includes being married to two women – Sherry and Juanita – at the same time. Initially, Jesse is as charming as can be to his two wives and three kids. But his true colors soon emerge, and he transforms into a twisted, sex-crazed sociopath, hell-bent on total control and obedience in his kingdom. Jesse forces all three to sleep in one large bed – with Jesse in the middle and a sister-wife on each side. But when Jesse’s sister and her daughter witness the abuse he dishes out to his family, they become threats that must be eliminated.

Dustin and his two wives Christina and Vicky are involved in a love triangle that at first is every polygamist’s fantasy. But when the bloodied body of a woman is found in Shubie Park, detectives are stumped. A top-secret undercover police investigation is launched to unmask the perpetrator of this violent crime. When it’s discovered that the victim was part of Dustin’s threesome, it becomes clear that romantic jealously can be very toxic indeed.
