Now, you can see why she'd want to change her identity. The only problem is that her dad, David Clarke, was actually framed. Nonetheless, he was sentenced to life in prison and was unfortunately murdered there as well. Now, she's back in the Hamptons and is dying to dish out some revenge, hence the title.
