A dark, psychological drama about a beautiful paralegal who's found dead in her boss's bathtub days before her 27th birthday. Her boss, a prominent Philadelphia lawyer who she'd recently begun dating, is considered the prime suspect, but he turns out to be just one of three men with whom she was involved.
"I think five years ago I would never, ever want to get married again. But I'm getting to the point where I really want to have another kid. I have one son, he's 20 years old now." That son, Chas, comes from Peruto 's marriage to Joanne Lasorda back in 1977.

Nussbaum, meanwhile, in the years since Lisa's death, has devoted herself to abuse victims' advocacy, working for a number of years at a domestic violence shelter and helping to secure victims' rights.
On Nov. 5, 1987, 6-year-old Lisa Steinberg died of brain injuries. Her illegally adoptive father, the lawyer Joel B. Steinberg, is accused of beating her to death and showing ''depraved indifference'' to her suffering.
Travis was found roped to a chair, drinking spoiled milk and covered in filth. Miraculously, he was spared Lisa's cruel fate. Three weeks later, he was taken from Steinberg and Nussbaum and reunited with his mom. A family court judge awarded her custody.
The older sister, Sandra, was released to a halfway house in 2009, while the younger sister, Beth, was released a year later. By 2020, it was reported that Sandra was graduated at university and became a scientist, while Beth was married, became a mother, and graduated from law school.
Sandra and Beth were 16 and 15 years old, respectively, when they drowned their alcoholic mom in their Mississauga townhouse bathtub on Jan. 18, 2003. They drugged her with Tylenol 3s and staged the crime to look like accidental death — and it worked, at first.
Both of them are now free and still safely anonymous, having served only a fraction of the 10 years' incarceration they were sentenced to. They've both been studying at university and the younger sister — wait for it — aspires to a career in law.
