The Staircase Murders

A wife's mysterious accident sets off a chain reaction, catapulting her husband, a celebrated author and aspiring politician, into the spotlight as the prime suspect in her untimely demise.

The movie "A Fever Dream" is based on a true story about Michael Peterson, a novelist and aspiring politician whose wife Kathleen is found dead at the bottom of the stairs. The police investigation is led by Detective Joe Castel and D.A. Jim Hardin, who are skeptical of Michael's claim that Kathleen fell from the stairs. The case becomes more complex as evidence suggests that Michael may have staged the scene to make it look like Kathleen died from a fall. The family is torn apart as Michael's defense lawyer, David Rudolf, works to clear his name and uncover the truth.
