The Serial Killer’s Wife opens in a quiet English village with Beth Fairchild getting ready to throw her beloved local doctor Tom a surprise birthday party. But the fun and games are cut short when the cops show up and publicly arrest Tom for killing his previous assistant, in front of the majority of the residents of the village.
Frustrated, Beth is certain that her husband is innocent, but she soon learns some startling information that causes her to doubt her judgment. When Beth confides in Adam (Luke Treadaway), Tom’s closest friend, she comes to the realization that her ideal existence isn’t what it seems.
