       Of all the dark forms that murder can take, the slaying of an entire family by
       the father is one of the most tragic and the least understood. Experts call this
       phenomenon familicide - or family annihilation. Told for the first time through
       compelling stories by those with direct experience of familicide, this documentary
       delves deep into the male mind in an attempt to understand the psychology that
       drives men to destroy their wife, children - and very often themselves. In doing so,
       we expose and challenge long held beliefs and misconceptions that surround this
       tragic phenomenon.
