A dark true-crime documentary that unravels decades of deception, abuse, and murder through the lens of a woman whose entire identity was a lie.

A young mother’s mysterious death and her son’s subsequent kidnapping blow open a decades-long mystery about the woman’s true identity, and the murderous federal fugitive at the center of it all.
