Janel Moloney
("The West Wing") stars as Amber Frey in this drama based on Frey's life
story and book Witness: For the Prosecution of Scott Peterson.
When Amber Frey (Moloney) meets Scott Peterson (Nathan Anderson), she
thinks that she has finally met the man of her dreams. He's handsome and
smart, kind and considerate, and claims to be single and ready to settle
down. But when Amber begins to suspect that something is amiss with
Scott's story, she accepts an investigator friend's offer to check him
out.
Scott is supposedly taking a trip to Europe on the night the
investigator calls Amber and tells her to turn on the news. She's
stunned to see Scott talking about the fact that his wife, Laci, eight
months pregnant with their son, Connor, is missing. Realizing that
everything Scott has told her is a lie, Amber calls the Modesto Police
Department, tells them she is dating Scott Peterson, and offers to do
whatever she can to help.
The Modesto Police ask Amber to tape her conversations with Scott and
encourage her to try and get information that could be used in their
investigation. Amber also decides to go public with her own story,
apologizes to Laci's family and offers to help find her.
In the process, Amber's own life is forever changed as the most intimate
personal details of the single mother's life are reported daily in the
media. The pressure builds as she continues to take risks for justice
and realizes her testimony and taped telephone calls with Scott Peterson
will be key to the prosecution's case against him.
