Synopsis: Suzanne Stone (Nicole Kidman) is a small-town girl with a big dream: she wants to become a famous celebrity. But marrying boyfriend Larry Maretto only slows her down, and while he wants a happy home and children, she spends all her time at the local TV station where she has pestered her two co-workers into making her weathergirl. On a mission to make a hard-hitting documentary, Suzanne meets with teenage misfits Lydia, Russell and Jimmy, all three of whom fall instantly in love with her. Suzanne sees her chance and takes it, seducing Jimmy and persuading him to kill her husband, claiming that Larry beats her. Suddenly she is the celebrity she has always dreamed of being, but the past has a way of catching up with you....
