Shadow of a Doubt

Hitchcock. A calculating and charming killer hides out in his relatives' small hometown. There, he befriends his favorite niece and namesake, who begins to suspect her uncle may be the famed Merry Widow murderer. A deadly game of cat and mouse ensues as the psychopathic killer plots the death of his young niece to protect his secret.

Charlie Newton is a bored teenaged girl living in the idyllic town of Santa Rosa, California. Her mother's younger brother (her namesake), Charles Oakley, is arriving for a visit. Her uncle is one of two suspects who may be the "Merry Widow Murderer". Charlie refuses to believe it at first, but then observes Uncle Charlie acting strangely.
