Description:  For some ten years since her prison wedding, Tammi Menendez has known a difficult life with Erik Menendez, who with his brother Lyle was convicted of brutally killing his parents in 1989. Few women understand what it’s really like to be married to a murderer, let alone an infamous one who most likely will never be a free man. Together, they have faced the judgment of family and friends; the scrutiny of media outlets that undoubtedly feed a public that can’t seem to get enough.

For Tammi Menendez, the reality of her day-to-day life is far from glamorous. For the first time, this couple gives filmmakers an unprecedented, inside look at their relationship, and how they have stayed together through it all.
