How Kate Mara’s home shopping obsession turns into a murderous nightmareHome Shopper follows Kate Mara’s Penny, whose obsession with a home shopping network turns into a murderous nightmare while she is trapped in a controlling marriage. She eventually lands a job at the network, but her secret obsession leads to murder. The arrival of an ambitious co-host seeking revenge further complicates her attempts to escape suspicion.
According to the official synopsis, Penny finds escape from her marital home in the television network, where “charismatic host Willy promises the perfect life, one must-have product at a time.” Her obsession drives her to secretly land a job on the network while co-host Cybil is off work.
However, things take a dark turn when her controlling husband discovers her secret. The synopsis further reads, “Penny’s obsession takes a murderous turn, and she realizes that a household crammed full of meaningless gadgets might be exactly what she needs to get away with it. With the ambitious Cybil out for revenge and the body count starting to spiral, Penny is about to learn that the hardest thing to sell is a perfect alibi.”
