Jared and Kristy Akron are the couple everyone admires; living the small-town, Pennsylvania dream: a recent wedding, a new home, and twins on the way. But when Jared begins noticing cracks in their seemingly perfect life, his suspicions lead him down a dark and twisting path he never anticipated. Kristy, who has always dreamed of being a mother, shows signs of strange, erratic behavior—secretive doctor visits, odd late-night activities, and a fierce insistence on keeping Jared at a distance. As he digs deeper, Jared uncovers secrets that reveal a side of Kristy he’s never known. Beneath her sweet, small-town charm lies a monster willing to go to unimaginable lengths to protect the life she’s crafted. The love that brought them together now binds them in a twisted game of deception and betrayal, where truth is elusive, and reality unravels one chilling clue at a time.

Introducing: The Unborn

Red flags should have immediately gone off when Jared’s wife Kristy told him their twins, who were born healthy, had both mysteriously died just hours after their birth. Especially after Kristy received a police escort out of the hospital. But unfortunately, sometimes love is blind.

Warning Signs

We take a trip down memory lane, back to when Jared and Kristy first met, showing farm animals as kids up through their adulthood reconnection, their epic shotgun wedding, to the morning that Jared was informed by a hospital official that he could not retrieve the remains of his children.

Young Lovers

Jared learns that his wife suffers from a condition where a woman looks, acts, and feels pregnant. We dive into his wife’s obsession with social media. Manically posting everything from her pregnant belly to weekly pregnancy updates. We also learn that Kristy was escorted from the hospital because she was suspected of trying to kidnap a baby.

Pseudocyesis, Psychosis, & Social Media

We talk to Gretchen, a pediatric nurse about the extreme measures hospitals take to protect infant security. And the real reason Kristy was detained at the hospital and escorted out in handcuffs. Namely, that she was able to obtain access to the maternity ward where she was attempting to kidnap a baby.
 
We tell the story of Breonna Moore, who successfully abducted a baby from the same hospital 8 years earlier. And finally, how do we digest that Kristy was able to trick her body into fully functioning as a pregnant woman and believing she was pregnant; with what appear to be direct acts of deceit: faking pregnancy tests; faking sonograms; faking gender results. Jared drops the final bomb - he and Kristy's home burnt to the ground 5 days before she gave "birth".

Baby Snatchers

Jared, along with his friends and family, discuss why they believe Kristy set fire to their home. Almost all believed it was an attempted murder on Jared’s life that she simply could not go through with in the end. In the fire’s aftermath, an outpouring of community support floods the Akrin family. But all that goodwill quickly turns to anger and mistrust when the community uncovers Kristy’s lies.

The Fire

Jared describes how difficult it was lying to Kristy over the weekend, in order to get to the bank on Monday to secure the donation money they received after the the fire. But Kristy has another surprise for Jared, she wants that money too. We talk to Jared’s attorney, Melissa, a self described “pit bull” who walks us through the precarious process of filing an emergency annulment and getting Kristy served, before she skips town.

You Got Served

We talk to Kristy’s best friend about the impact all this had on her life. Jared fills us in on the multitude of other lies he learned his wife had told him in the aftermath of the “deaths”, their final words, and attempt to finally answer the question.........why?
