“Please. My wife had an accident. She’s still breathing!”
In the early hours of December 9, 2001, novelist Michael Peterson made a frantic emergency call claiming his wife, Kathleen, had fallen down the stairs in their home.
However, as secrets about Peterson’s double life and his connection to another eerily similar death emerged, what initially seemed to be a terrible household accident would become one of the most compelling true-crime stories of the 21st century.
Peterson’s 911 call serves as the opening to riveting eight-part drama , starring Oscar-winner Colin Firth as Peterson and our own Toni Collette as his wife.
