Evelyn drains the family wealth and fakes death to escape lies and start fresh.
Evelyn Capote uncovers a years-long deception: her husband and sons concealed his former lover's daughter while lying to her face. Rather than confront them directly, she allies with her two daughters-in-law to systematically siphon the family assets and stage her own death.
