Federal agent Alexandra Barnes suspects that Catherine Petersen is a serial killer who targets wealthy men by marrying them and then killing them to steal their money.

To catch her, Alexandra decides to go undercover and pursue the same man Catherine is interested in, hoping this will cause Catherine to make a mistake and expose who she really is.
Detailed Synopsis of Black Widow
Federal agent Alexandra Barnes believes that Catherine Petersen is a serial killer who marries rich men and then murders them for their money. But since Catherine is seemingly a master of disguise and has multiple identities, Alexandra can't prove anything with conventional detective work. With no other option, she goes undercover, pursuing the same man as Catherine, and hoping that Catherine will slip up and reveal her true identity.
