When a newlywed began receiving threatening emails from a mysterious sender who called themselves “Lilithistruth,” all signs pointed to one person. But after that suspect, her husband’s ex, was arrested, it kicked up a scandal in their well-to-do California suburb. The case, it turned out, was far from closed. Even more disturbing was that as the investigation progressed, it became unclear who was the true victim and who was the villain.

Premiering on July 22, the new documentary A Toxic Love Story will unravel the insidious web of deception at the heart of this sensational case. Directed by Alexandra Lacey and produced by Curious Films, the doc examines the players — a husband, his new wife, and his ex-wife — in a game where everyone is playing a part. 

A Toxic Love Story is produced by Emma Supple. Dov Freedman, Charlie Russell, and Sam Hobkinson are executive producers.
