The docuseries investigates the 1995 Valentine's Day murder of national bodybuilding champion Ray McNeil, who was shot and killed by his bodybuilder wife, Sally. She claimed she was strangled at the time of the shooting and was a frequent victim of McNeil's domestic violence. Sally claimed it was self-defense, a split-second decision to save her life. The prosecution claimed it was premeditated murder, the revenge of a jealous and aggressive woman. They called her a 'thug', a 'bully', a 'monster'. The media called her the "muscular bride" and the "pumped up princess." Sally says she spent her entire life trying to survive, caught in a cycle of violence that started in childhood and ended with Ray's death. Friends, family and Sally McNeil herself tell the story of the two bodybuilders' turbulent marriage that ends in the shocking murder.
