An Amish Murder
Some secrets are too terrible to reveal. Some crimes are too unspeakable to solve.
Directed by Stephen Gyllenhaal
Produced by Lifetime
A dark mystery thriller centered on a trauma survivor returning to her hometown to confront buried secrets and unresolved violence from her past.
The Amish farming community of Painter’s Mill, Ohio, is shattered when a series of brutal murders leaves the town with a sense of frailty and loss of innocence. Among the most affected by the tragedy was Kate Burkholder, a young girl who survived the terror and, as a result, left the Amish life behind. Fifteen years later, Kate returns to Painter’s Mill as its Chief of Police. Certain she’s come to terms with her past, Kate’s renewed life in her hometown is shattered when a murder investigation triggers deep-seated emotions from her childhood and exposes a dark secret that could destroy her.
