When his wife leaves him, Jeremy (a pop-psychologist) starts a study to discover why people violate rules and laws. This study leads him to interviewing people in prison where he meets three women on death row. Rosa Jones: she's incredibly intelligent, well-read, and is on death row for murdering seven teenage boys. Harriet Wilson: like Rosa, Harriet's incredibly well-read, intelligent. And she's on death row for murdering eight LAPD officers and four members of the L.A. City Council. Simone Ramirez: at 29 years old, she murdered and entire family--over fifty men, women, and children. Genocide. Collectively, they are known as the Furies. They have spent the last fifteen years in solitary confinement. And no one has ever asked why they did it. Until Jeremy's study. Their answers force him to question everything he thinks he knows about himself and the world in which he lives.
