该剧基于德州杀手Candy Montgomery与受害者Betty Gore的真实故事改编，奥尔森将饰演Candy Montgomery。1980年的德州，Montgomery似乎拥有了一切，热爱工作的丈夫、一双子女、在新郊区的一所漂亮房子，可为什么她要用斧头砍死自己的教会朋友呢？

It's the early 1990s, the Northern Ireland peace process is taking its faltering first steps, and INLA man Mad Padraic is hard at work pulling out the toenails of Belfast drug pusher James, when the news comes through that his beloved cat, Wee Thomas, is poorly. So instead of slicing off James's right nipple, as planned, he heads back home to the island of Inishmore. But when he arrives at the family home, he discovers that Wee Thomas isn't sick, but has had his brains squeezed out like toothpaste. Padraic, a man considered too mad for the IRA and sorely trying the patience of his INLA comrades, is intent on revenge, even if that means wiping out his own father. Just as he's about to put a bullet through Dad's head, there's an unexpected knock at the door. The plot is set in 1993 on the island of Inishmore, County Galway, Ireland.[2]
Scene 1

Donny's House. Davey, a pudgy, long-haired teenager, has brought his middle-aged neighbor Donny the corpse of Donny's cat, Wee Thomas, which he has found lying in the road. The cat has been badly mangled; its brains fall out as they examine it. Donny accuses Davey of running it over with his mother's bicycle, which Davey vehemently denies. Donny reveals, to Davey's horror, that Wee Thomas did not belong to him but to his son, Padraic. The cat had been his only friend for fifteen years. Davey pleads with Donny to not involve him, as Padraic, a Lieutenant in the INLA, has an insanely violent temper. (He was thrown out of the IRA for "being too mad.") Donny agrees to keep it secret, but only if Davey admits he killed the cat. Davey half-heartedly confesses to, although only due to Donny's insistence. Donny then plans to call Padraic, who is working in Northern Ireland blowing up Chip Shops, to tell him that Wee Thomas is sick. Davey does not understand the purpose of the call, so Donny explains that he is letting his son down easy, planning to tell him later that the cat died. Davey agrees and leaves as Donny begins to phone Padraic.
Scene 2

A warehouse in Northern Ireland, where Padraic has James, a drug dealer, hung upside down from the ceiling. Padraic has removed two of James' toenails. James insults Padraic after being lectured on the evils of distributing marijuana to good Catholic children (as opposed to selling to Protestant children, which Padraic deems marginally acceptable). Abruptly, Padraic decides to cut off one of James' nipples, letting him choose which one. Just before he starts cutting, Padraic gets the call from Donny saying that Wee Thomas is doing poorly and off his food. Padraic breaks down into tears and screams that he will be on the first boat back to Inishmore. He then shoots his mobile phone to pieces. James suggests that Wee Thomas may have ringworm and suggests ringworm tablets in some cheese, as his cat had the same problem a month or two back. When he realizes that James loves his cat, Padraic releases him after extracting a promise not to sell more marijuana, and gives him money for the bus to the hospital.
Scene 3

The Road. Davey is tinkering with his bicycle when his younger sister Mairead shoots him in the cheek with her air rifle for hurting Wee Thomas. Davey attempts to explain that his innocence and accuses Mairead of being mad for shooting the eyes out of ten cows in an earlier incident. Mairead, who is 16, explains it was her version of terrorism against the meat industry. She continues to accuse Davey of the death of Wee Thomas. In the discussion, it becomes clear that she is in love with Padraic and shares both his political stances and his devotion to cats. Davey explains that Donny has him searching the countryside for another black cat to replace Wee Thomas. Their argument is interrupted by Christy, a tall, sinister-looking man with an eyepatch. He says that he is a friend of Padraic, and also accuses Davey of killing Wee Thomas. Again, Davey denies this. He also tells Christy that Padraic will be back the next day at noon. Christy leaves, but not before again accusing Davey of murdering the cat deliberately. In response, Mairead destroys Davey's bike.
Scene 4

Donny's House. Having been unable to find a black cat to impersonate Wee Thomas, Davey has stolen Mairead's cat Sir Roger (who is orange). They attempt to paint the cat black with shoe polish. Donny and Davey both agree that the plan is unlikely to work, but are running out of time and options. The two are drunk, and bond over their shared love of eating shoe polish. They agree that if their plan fails, Padraic will kill them.
Scene 5

The Road. Christy and two other men, Brendan and Joey, sit eating beans. It is revealed that they are members of INLA (a splinter group of the IRA) come to assassinate Padraic. Joey is sullen and unhappy with the other two for killing Wee Thomas, an act necessary to lure Padraic back to Inishmore and set him off guard. The three bicker sharply, and there is a brief Mexican stand-off before cooler heads prevail. They set off to await Padraic's return, not knowing their conversation has been overheard by Mairead.
Scene 6

The Docks. It is very early in the morning. Padriac gets off the boat to discover Mairead waiting for him, singing "The Patriot Game", an old IRA ballad. He recognizes her and mocks her for her lack of femininity, dismissing her ambitions to join the fight to Free Ireland despite her protestations that she is a crack shot. She attempts to flirt with him and he rejects her advances. She sullenly delivers a message from Donny: that Wee Thomas is "over the worst of it." In Padraic's joy at the good news, he kisses her. She grabs him and deepens the kiss. Confused, he begins the long walk back into town and she once again begins to sing "The Patriot Game."
Scene 7

Donny's House. Davey and Donny, exhausted and now seriously drunk, decide to call it a night. They will put the finishing touches on the cat the next morning before Padraic arrives. Davey has made a cross to mark Wee Thomas' grave. Donny instructs Davey several times to wake him at nine AM, and they go to sleep.
Scene 8

Donny's House. Noon. Davey has failed to wake up Donny in time, and they are still asleep when Padraic arrives. He finds the grave marker, flies into a rage, wakes them up and demands to know where the cat is. They indicate the decoy, claiming it has a disease that makes it smell like shoe polish and "get all orangey". Padraic isn't fooled and angrily shoots the cat, blowing it to pieces. He ties up both his father and Davey and is finally told that Wee Thomas is dead. He is prepared to shoot them both for letting the cat die in their care when the three INLA agents burst into the room and hold him at gunpoint. The gunmen bind his hands. They tell Padraic that he has angered the group with his brutal maiming of a drug dealer under their protection, and also with his talk of forming a splinter group from their splinter group. It is also discovered that Padraic is responsible for Christy's missing eye. Davey taunts the bound Padraic, causing him to fly into a rage. As he is dragged outside, he promises that he will be back to kill them. Donny and Davey, still nervous, express relief that it appears to be over when shots fire off stage. The three agents come running back into the house, their eyes shot out by Mairead. They fire outside the house blindly. Padraic and Mairead walk calmly into the house, holding hands. Padraic shoots each of the three agents in turn. Padraic asks her to join him in the fight for a free Ireland, and she accepts. Having found love, they are about to execute Donny and Davey when Christy feebly rises up and apologizes to Padraic for killing his cat. Padraic, flying into a rage, drags Christy off into the next room to torture him before he dies.
Scene 9

Evening. The stage is by now strewn with blood and dismembered body parts. Padraic is quietly sitting on Christy's horribly mutilated corpse, clutching the body of Wee Thomas, which he has dug up from Donny's backyard. Donny and Davey are reluctantly chopping up the bodies of Brendan and Joey to prevent identification. Mairead enters, wearing a striking dress. She and Padraic discuss their plans for the future, perhaps forming their own splinter group, which Padraic calls "Wee Thomas's Army". Mairead mentions that she was unable to find her cat, Sir Roger, to say goodbye. Davey remembers with horror that the cat has been killed by Padraic. He retrieves the cat's collar and flings it out the window before the lovers can notice it. Padraic asks Mairead to marry him. She goes in the next room to wash the blood off her dress, and returns clutching the mangled body of Sir Roger. She kisses Padraic. As he relaxes in bliss, she draws both of his pistols and shoots him in the head. She commands Donny and Davey to clean up, promising to return the next day and investigate what Sir Roger was doing in the house in the first place. Bemoaning their luck, Donny and Davey continue to work when suddenly a meowing is heard and a black cat enters the house. It is, amazingly, Wee Thomas, who had been "out gallivanting" while a poor stray was mistakenly killed in his place. Donny and Davey express shock and anger that four men and two cats are dead for no good reason. They resolve to kill Wee Thomas in retribution. After holding the poor feline at gunpoint, however, they decide against it, and give it a bowl of frosties for supper, as Donny had previously been arguing Wee Thomas was fond of, as the play ends.

19世纪70年代的新英格兰海滨小渔村，在磨房工作的两位年轻女工下班后到村里的游乐园坐旋转木马消遣，其中一位姑娘茱利·乔丹（Julie Jordan）成为旋转木马工比利?比格罗（Billy Bigelow）的目标，在旋转木马上他一直试图跟她调情。
旋转木马主人穆林夫人（Mrs. Mullin）发现比利的不轨行经，十分生气，她警告茱利不能再靠近旋转木马，因为她竟然允许比利把手放在她腰上，穆林表示不允许这种有伤风化的事情发生在她的木马上。茱利和好友嘉利·皮泊利奇（Julie's friend）和穆林夫人争吵起来。比利赶到，最初他为穆林夫人帮腔，这里暗示了比利和穆林夫人的私情，并说明比利这个工作也是因为和穆林夫人相好才得到的。但随即发现穆林夫人不过是吃醋，于是倒戈偏向茱利，最后遭到穆林夫人解雇。种种迹象让嘉利感觉茱利对比利产生了感情，她试图问个究竟，但茱利不予正面回答。但嘉利仍然相信自己猜对了，并告诉茱利自己也有了相好：当地一位渔夫艾诺奇?斯诺（Enoch Snow)。
比利找到这两位女工，要求和茱利单独谈谈，嘉利非常担心的警告说，如果茱利晚归将会被认为是行为不检点而遭到解雇，仓皇离去。磨房主人巴斯科姆先生（Mr. Bascombe）和警察路过，发现茱利和比利单独在一起，巴斯科姆告诉她，比利是专门骗取女孩钱财的流氓，并提出带茱利以保全她的名声，茱利拒绝了，她也失业了。他们终于单独在一起聊天，两人之间产生了浓厚的激情，尽管他们都不肯在谈话中承认这一点，最后比利吻了茱利。
一个月后，已经结婚的比利和茱利前往投奔茱利的表姐内蒂·福勒（Nettie Fowler），她经营着一个海滨餐厅。一天晚上，一群水手来到餐厅准备举行一次聚会。嘉利和其他姑娘们看到热情的水兵十分兴奋，于是相互调情。内蒂为了避免他们行为过火，引领大家载歌载舞以转移他们的注意力。在大家都享受着歌舞的欢乐时，茱利却独自一人，比利和他的朋友吉格尔出去鬼混了一天，完全不见踪影。内蒂让嘉利好好的安慰茱利。
为了不让姑娘们听到茱利的伤心事，内蒂打发她们打扫聚会现场。茱利向嘉利透露，由于长期失业，比利情绪十分沮丧，有一次因为动怒还煽了她一耳光。嘉利则带来好消息，她将与斯诺先生结婚。一直在假装工作，实际偷听她们谈话的女工们冲上来热情的祝福嘉利，并想象她的婚礼是多么的漂亮。斯诺先生意外的造访他们，大家又热烈的祝福他，然后离去。
嘉利介绍茱利与自己未婚夫认识，看到朋友的婚姻幸福，联想到自己的遭遇，茱利不禁失态，倚靠在斯诺先生肩头哭泣。当她平静下来之后，比利和吉格尔一起回来，对斯诺先生恶言相向后，径直进了屋，他们的举动让茱利非常难堪。从茱利出来的路上，斯诺和嘉利开始畅想两人未来的共同生活。斯诺计划先捕鱼多赚钱，然后改行做买卖致富，和嘉利组建家庭生很多孩子。
吉格尔在比利面前炫耀单身生活的自在，并和朋友们当着他的面与姑娘们大肆调情。吉格尔怂恿比利加入他们的抢劫计划，但当听吉格尔说抢劫中会杀死受害人后，比利拒绝了。穆林夫人造访比利，当听比利说起婚姻生活的不快后，她试图劝说他回旋转木马干活。茱利碰巧听到两人的谈话，几乎和穆林吵起来。穆林离开后，茱利告诉比利自己怀孕。面对即将出世的孩子，比利十分高兴，但充分意识到自己现在的穷困处境，为了给孩子提供更好的经济保障，他决定参与抢劫。全村人准备参加大型聚会，尽管从前比利非常讨厌这样的聚会，但现在意识到这是抢劫计划的一部分，于是决定参加，让茱利非常高兴。
全村聚会上，所有人都非常高兴。吉格尔巧舌如簧的勾引嘉利，嘉利不知就里，结果被斯诺看见，吉格尔继续和她调情，斯诺生气的表示和嘉利分手。姑娘们安慰嘉利，告诉她男人都不是好东西，并劝茱利离开比利。但是茱利表示真正爱一个人，就应该在任何情况下对他不弃不离。她发现比利要和吉格尔一起离开，并发现他的口袋里藏着刀，怀着不详的预感，她试图阻拦比利，比利粗暴的把她推开，走上抢劫之路。茱利痛苦的看着比利离开。
在等待抢劫的过程中，吉格尔拉比利一起赌博，用他们即将抢劫的财富作为赌注。由于吉格尔使诈，比利把自己的那份钱输光，即使抢劫成功他也将会身无分文。抢劫目标巴斯科姆先生出现，但是他做好了充分的准备，不仅把钱藏在安全的地方还带了手枪防身，看到抢劫犯后，他举枪射击，惊动了警察。除了比利，其他人都成功逃脱，发现自己被包围，无法忍受牢狱生活的比利自杀了。等到茱利赶来，他已经咽气。
嘉利安慰茱利说也许他死去不是坏事，比利的死让斯诺和嘉利充分认识到彼此的重要，两人重归于好。穆林夫人闻讯赶来，希望看比利最后一眼，虽然全村的人都不喜欢她，但茱利答应了她的要求。穆林含泪离开后，内蒂告诉茱利要勇敢的继续生活下去。
比利来到天堂大门前，看门天使告诉他，想要进天堂，他必须平在凡间造成的痛苦。他表示自己拒绝和低级天堂官员打交道，要求直接进见上帝，接受最后的审判。天使仍然把他送回凡间，他在路上偷了一颗星星。等到回到人间时，已经是15年后，他的女儿路易丝已经长大，成为一个性格乖张的孤僻女孩，因为她的出身（抢劫犯的女儿）而受到歧视。她的生活十分痛苦。
现在已经富甲一方的斯诺先生和嘉利有了9个孩子，他自以为进入了上流社会，拒绝和茱利有更多来往，但是嘉利仍然和茱利及家人保持良好的关系，经常看望她。这天她再度造访茱利，路易丝告诉她的大儿子小艾诺奇(Enoch Jr) ，她决定到最近造访村子的嘉年华当歌舞女郎，这样就可以离开村子。小艾诺奇向她求婚，表示这样一来，她就不必背井离乡，还说他需要花很大力气才能说服父亲允许他和下层社会的姑娘结婚。路易丝非常愤怒的赶走了他，痛哭起来。
比利显身，自称是她父亲的朋友去安慰她。为了让她高兴，他把偷来的星星送给女儿。路易丝很有戒心的拒绝了礼物，比利生气的给了女儿一耳光。路易丝尖叫着进屋找妈妈，自觉无颜面对茱利，比利隐身了。于是茱利出来，除了那颗星星，什么也没看见。路易丝很惊讶的告诉母亲，尽管挨了打，却一点也不疼，那一耳光感觉更像是一个吻。茱利似乎预料到了真相，看着星星感慨万分。隐身状态下，比利向茱利表达了他的爱，但是也意识到自己的表白太迟了，自己永远无法和她共同幸福的生活了。
他来到女儿的毕业典礼上，当她接受毕业证书时，村民拒绝为她鼓掌。校长开始训话，他告诉同学们不要以父母的得失评价一个同学。同学们唱起“你永不独行”，比利在冥冥中鼓励女儿要对未来充满信心，并在茱利耳边轻声说到：“我爱你。” 茱利母女似乎感觉到比利的存在，她们由衷的感到了幸福。看到亲人们重新树立起对生活的信心，比利十分欣慰，天堂的门为他打开，他勇敢的走进去，等待他的最终审判。
