Daniel Toscan du Plantier was a celebrated film producer and became president of UniFrance in 1988. According to IMDb, his repertoire includes "The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover" (1989), "Boris Godounov" (1989), and "La Bohème" (1994). He reminisced about his late wife in an interview with The Sun, "In effect, she was more than a tough character, with a strict moral code, who feared nothing." He also noted, "She rather avoided the world of society and gossip and preferred the chic and popular quarters where she felt more at ease."

The 39-year-old wife and mother had an enviable life in Paris as a producer, director, and socialite, but she loved the safety, solace, and peace of the rural Irish retreat she purchased in 1993. It is hard to miss the irony of her picturesque and tranquil escape being the place of her ultimate doom, especially when, according to the documentary, she was insistent on someone going with her when she normally went alone.

According to Newsweek, Toscan du Plantier visited the mythical Three Castle Head shortly before her death. Local legend says those who see the White Lady are marked for imminent death. Reportedly, Sophie saw her on December 22, the day before her murder, and mentioned her strange experience to a couple not familiar with the legend. Soon, what was supposed to be a quiet Christmas outing, resulted in an inexplicably vicious crime.
