Marlene is inspired by the life of Marlene Truscott. Steven Truscott had been arrested at 14, for raping and killing a classmate and was sentenced to be hung. When a journalist, Isabel Lebourdais, wrote a book proclaiming his innocence, Marlene became involved in his case and later when he was released from jail on parole, fell in love with him. But Steven was still a guilty man and Marlene was determined to clear his name. Marlene is one extraordinary woman’s journey to find truth and justice.
