In 1974, Jack Unterweger was in prison for murder. However, during his prison stint, he became somewhat famous for writing poems, short stories and an autobiography, titled Purgatory or The Trip to Prison – Report of a Guilty Man. His autobiography would even become required reading in some schools. By 1985, several prominent figures in Austrian journalism and writing industries saw this as an example of a reformed prisoner, and started campaigning for his early release. After he was released in 1990, he became a minor celebrity, even hosting TV shows about criminal rehabilitation. But not long after this,he couldn’t control the urge to kill again.

Despite all of their internal issues, the two sisters became co-valedictorians in high school. However, after Jeen got kicked out of the Air Force and Sunny fell on hard times, the two sisters found each other again and moved in together. It was far from ideal though, as both sisters fought and argued constantly. After Sunny was released on a fraud charge, she went to the police and got Jeen arrested for fraud as well. Feeling betrayed by her own flesh and blood, Jeen was hellbent on revenge and she would do anything to get it.
