A Toxic Love Story (2026)

A Toxic Love Story is a true-crime documentary examining a complicated case involving a newly married U.S. marshal, his ex-fiancée and a series of threatening messages that develop into a public revenge scandal. The film gradually complicates the first version of events as investigators and participants reveal conflicting perspectives.

Director Alexandra Lacey uses police material, interviews, interrogation footage and dramatic reconstruction to build a story about deception, trust and the danger of drawing conclusions too early.
