Big Shot

As The Money Burns

Money can lead to dangerous outcomes. A generous gift one year leads to a triple homicide decades later.

In 1978, a triple homicide occurs inside a home in Palm Springs, California. The trail follows multiple trusts, family disputes, and suspicious characters across California to Texas and even Denmark and Zimbabwe. At the center, a trust setup by Barbara Hutton decades earlier for her cousin Curtis Hutton.
