The true story of the first televised murder trial in U.S. history,
Winter of Frozen Dreams reveals the bizarre tale of a brilliant
biochemistry student who lead a shocking double life. Barbara Hoffman
(Thora Birch) was a top student at the University of Wisconsin, and one
of Madison's most notorious prostitutes. But how could a girl known for
her remarkable mind be drawn into such a lurid plot of passion and
murder? When Barbara's fiancé Jerry Davies (Brenden Sexton III) reported
the discovery of a corpse one frigid Christmas morning, he never
thought police would suspect him of being the killer. Just hours before,
Jerry had buried the body in a snow bank, and now Detective Lulling
(Keith Carradine) smells foul play. Insisting that he and Hoffman didn't
kill the deceased but merely buried the man's corpse, Davies and his
bride-to-be quickly establish themselves as the prime suspects in a
perplexing murder case. Later, as Hoffman languishes in prison, she
becomes an object of curiosity in the media for her refusal to give
interviews or even go before the parole board.
