A frantic 911 call reporting the shooting of a woman brings police to an LA mansion belonging to eccentric, legendary music producer Phil Spector. The woman is actress Lana Clarkson, and Spector claims she committed suicide. Detectives investigate Clarkson’s rocky relationship with Hollywood looking for a suicide motive, but Spector’s long-running reputation for volatility throws suspicion on him.

Lana Clarkson’s murder case ends in a mistrial when the jury can’t reach a unanimous decision, devastating her family. However, a second trial with a new jury ends in Spector’s conviction and the iconic music producer would himself die behind bars. In the wake of his death, those left behind question Phil Spector’s legacy.

As Phil Spector’s success grew, so did his paranoia. He became increasingly erratic, controlling and volatile, hindering his career. Meanwhile, Lana Clarkson’s star rose. After making a startling discovery in Spector’s castle, detectives become convinced Clarkson’s death was a homicide.

Lana Clarkson struggled to secure new roles as she entered her 40s. Concurrently, Phil Spector returned to the Hollywood spotlight. The two stars collided at the House of Blues where Clarkson took a job as a hostess, and the night ended in her tragic death. Spector faces trial for murder and professes his innocence to the public, making it difficult to find unbiased jurors. The prosecution presents witnesses who testify to Spector’s violent behavior while the defense relies on the lack of physical evidence.
