My '6 Ways To Kill Your Husband Or Wife' synopsis



Patricia Garmore is a woman born into wealth and resource. A good upbringing, a great job thanks to her fathers connections. she seems like a woman who has it all family, future and safety. Unitl she meets Mark hamburg a charming, charismatic man who seems to be Patricia's perfect match, months later the two are happily married until Patricia starts to notice strange occurrences after the death of her father...her husband sneaking out late hours of night, previous marriage records and pictures of dead women in his study...can Patricia best a man who seems to be a perfect ruse? can she overcome her own doubts and face a threat closer to home than she can imagine? 

Beginning

At the beginning of the film we will see the ending with Patricia bringing a prepared dinner to her husband while he harbours a gun and is waiting for the correct moment to kill her little do the audience know however that Patricia is aware of her situation and has taken the neccasery precuations to protect herself from her husbands wife killing spree. After the ending scene has played out and the final voice of Patricia is heard and the opening scene and credits roll beginning the film, the film then cuts to Patricia going to a high rollers country club for a cocktail party it is in this place that the character of Mark is introduced and the two begin to chat and get to know each other. The film then skips 5 years into the future to the home of Mark and Patricia Hamburg who are know both happily married and give off the allure of a normal married couple they both arrive home from work, eat dinner, watch televisionand then go to sleep until the early morning when Patricia is awakened to find mark driving off to a mysterious location.  

Middle
In the Middle of the film we see Patricia arrive work at her high end office and attends a board meeting when she is suddenly called out by her secretary who says her mother has called and that it's an urgent call, Patricia contacts her mother who reveals that her father has been shot by an unknown assailant and has been killed. The film then blanks out to court where we see a fragile looking Patricia listen to evidence being told to her by a coroner at a police morgue he reveals to her that her father was killed with a 9mm pistol that her father owned and was not recovered at the crime scene, and that there also appeared to be an intense struggle before he was killed. This news rings in Patricia's head until she arrives home to find her husband with severe bruising and scratch marks he claims to have been in a fight and been mugged and goes to shower of the blood on him, this causes suspicion in Patricia who begins to look through her husbands possessions in an attempt to find something to connect him to the murder after finding nothing she almost gives up until she spots a glistening metal behind a book in her husbands study finding it reveals it to be the gun that was used to shoot her father. This causes panic in Patricia who places the gun back where it was cleans up and then makes an excuse for going out she ends up in her mothers company and begins to research her husbands past and finds she is not his first wife but one of many long time rich women he has married. She begins to doubt her husband and falls asleep early in the mroning working on finding out his past, she awakens to find her mother killed in the same aspect as her father and  begins to feel her time is running short before her husband kills her collects her fortune and moves on. At this point we see her return home and begin to cook dinner poisoning her husbands food with rat poison, putting on a scared and delicate facade and awaiting his return.

End
Towards the end we see Mark returning home with the loaded 9mm pistol in his jacket the ending scenes then roll out where it is revealed that Patricia has been looking for a way to do away with her parents for a long time and that Mark ironically done her dirty work as now she can be gone with an inheritance and clear mind before no one notices the body of her parents murderer.
