Dolores Claiborne has a story to tell.

But it is not quite what the police had expected.

Dolores Claiborne has a confession to make . . .

She will take her time. Won't be hurried. Will do it her way, sparing neither details nor feelings. Hers or anyone else's.

This is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Truth that takes you to the edge of darkness.

Dolores Claiborne has a story to tell and you'd better pay attention - or else.
