The true story of high school sweethearts driven to kill their newborn child—and the murder trial that shocked the nation.

Amy Grossberg and Brian Peterson grew up in a wealthy New Jersey suburb. Meeting and falling in love while still in high school, they set off for college like most of their classmates. But in November of their freshman year, the two young lovers spent a night in a Delaware motel room where, after hiding her pregnancy from her family and her friends for nine months, Amy gave birth to a baby boy.

Only she and Brian knew the child even existed . . . until the next morning when the newborn’s corpse turned up in the motel dumpster. The case cause nationwide outrage, and the teenagers ended up in court, desperately fighting for their lives—and ultimately against each other.
