A Dangerous Woman (1993)

In the quaint backdrop of a small town, resides the endearing yet intellectually impaired Martha Horgan, a woman known for her unblemished dedication to truth. Raised under the shadow of her affluent aunt, Frances Beechum, Martha's life is a tapestry of simplicity and vulnerability. Frances, only a few years older than Martha, has been her guardian since childhood while juggling her own emotional complexities and a clandestine affair with the local politician, Steve Bell. Martha's world is circumscribed by her job at a local dry cleaner's, a position unknowingly funded by Frances to instill a sense of purpose in Martha's life. However, her inability to lie and inherent naivety become her downfall, making her an easy prey for manipulation. When she exposes a fellow employee's thievery, she finds herself wrongfully accused and dismissed from her job, further isolifying her from the world. As Martha grapples with her growing loneliness, her life takes an unexpected turn when she crosses paths with Mackey, a charismatic drifter with a penchant for alcohol. Mackey, seeking employment, weasels his way into becoming Frances' handyman, tasked with repairing her damaged porch. This unexpected companionship stirs a whirlwind of emotions in Martha's otherwise uneventful life, leading her to welcome Mackey's friendship with open arms. Intricate relationships and hidden truths culminate in a chain of events that put Martha's moral fiber to the test. She is forced to confront the unthinkable - to lie for her survival. But, whether she can comprehend the weight of this act or its potential consequences remains to be seen. In the heart of this small town, Martha's story unfolds, a testament to truth, tragedy, and the gritty reality of human relationships.
