The film follows Puente's sinister tactics as she preyed on vulnerable, disabled elders, burying their bodies in her massive garden under the guise of her boarding school operation. Set in the 1980s, 'Dorothea' promises to transport audiences to the era in which these horrific events took place.

Ferrin's next project, 'Night Stalker', is expected to be even harsher than 'Dorothea'.
