Dolores Claiborne

Dolores Claiborne, a longtime domestic worker on a small island, is suspected of killing her wealthy employer, Vera Donovan. A witness claims to have seen Dolores at the scene, while detective John Mackey also reopens questions about the death of her abusive husband twenty years earlier. As the investigation gains momentum, Dolores’s daughter Selena, now a magazine writer in Manhattan, returns home to report on the case and confront the history surrounding her mother.
