Alice, Sweet Alice

Alice Spages is a problematic 12-year-old rebel who lives with her younger sister Karen and their divorced mother Catherine, who fawns over Karen and neglects Alice. During Karen's First Communion, she is strangled by a masked woman dressed in a St. Michael's yellow coat and wearing a creepy mask. Alice takes her place in line wearing her veil, which she claims she found on the floor, and becomes the police's prime suspect. When Catherine's sister Annie is stabbed in the leg several times, she accuses Alice and gets her sent to have a psychological evaluation over the protests of her parents and their friend Father Tom, but Alice's father Dominick sees evidence that will prove her innocence.
