In a quiet Michigan nursing home, life drifts by in slow routines, unnoticed by the outside world. Cathy Wood moves through these halls every day, tending to residents who can no longer care for themselves. To her troubled mind, their frailty becomes a burden no one else will acknowledge. When she confides these thoughts to her lover, Gwen Graham, the two women form a pact that twists caregiving into something far darker.
As bodies begin to accumulate without suspicion, the line between mercy and manipulation dissolves. The secrecy that once bound Cathy and Gwen grows heavy, and the truth threatens to surface in ways neither can control.
A critically acclaimed debut in true crime, Forever and Five Days offers a disturbing, meticulously reported account of the Alpine Manor murders.
