Garnett Spears was only five-years-old when he dies in hospital after years of health struggles and mysterious illnesses. Upon further investigation, police begin to suspect that his death may actually be murder at the hands of the person he should have been able to trust the most: his own mother.
Lacey Spears had been documenting her son's medical journey through the years, ever since he started experiencing mysterious symptoms just weeks after he was born. Close family and friends begin to grow suspicious of Lacey and her love of all the attention she receives as a result of Garnett's health battles- and the truth that comes to light soon after Garnett's death is sad, unjustifiable and infuriating. This is the story of Lacey Spears (dubbed "Salt Mom" by the media) and how her desperate need for attention and sympathy caused the death of an innocent and helpless child.
