Plot

This section's tone or style may not reflect the encyclopedic tone used on Wikipedia. (July 2010)

Katrina (Emily Barclay) is a 19-year-old single mother who is planning to get away with murder. Katrina lives in a world of petty crime, fast cars, manicures and fornication. A master manipulator of men, she lives at home with a deadbeat father in suburban Golden Grove. Katrina will stop at nothing, including murder, to get what she wants. When her father threatens to contact Social Services and take away her child, Katrina sets in motion a plan to wreak suburban mayhem that will leave a community in shock and make Katrina infamous in a way even she never dreamed of.

It is loosely based upon a series of notorious murders by Mark Valera, who killed Frank Arkell and David O'Hearn, and upon his sister Belinda van Krevel and her then-partner Keith Schreiber, who killed Jack van Krevel.
