Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story tells the story of how one young woman changed what the world believed a killer could be... all it took was an axe.

When the repressed daughter of a wealthy New England family and her rebellious maid find themselves trapped in a house built on humiliation and cruelty, they escape into a fantasy of sex, power, and revenge. The gruesome unsolved murders that follow don't just shock the world—they give birth to an icon who refuses to live imprisoned in a cage, choosing instead to forge her own legend: shocking, monstrous, and gloriously free.
