“There’s no way that we just found this murder plan"

25-year-old Patrick De La Cerda is ready to start a new chapter with his fiancée, Jessica Devnani, until right after Valentine’s day, in 2018, when cops make a grim discovery at the couple’s barn in Deltona, Florida: Patrick has been murdered in what seems to be a targeted assassination, but as the case goes on, unusual clues pop up. Ominous voicemails, private investigators, secret cameras, Jessica & the detectives discover nothing is as it seems, and it’s up to them to trap the killer who thought he was too smart to ever be caught, and get justice for Patrick.

“Shh, don’t scream.”--On the night of July 23rd 2013, Tiffany calmly calls the police asking for help after she injured her own neck in an attempt to take her life, while her ex-husband Kris simply watches her. When the detectives arrive on the scene, it’s clear to them that she didn’t do this herself. Her ex Kris says the opposite, and calls her a liar. As they dig more into the case, time is running out as Kris carries out his own plan to “finish the job”.

"What happened in that box?"--January 11th 1973, on his way to buy milk for his siblings, 13 year old Paul Martin Andrews doesn’t notice a blue van is following him. Sitting in it is Richard Ausley, a dangerous outlaw on the run, and as Richard usually does, he simply asks Paul for help and offers him a ride. His story would end up becoming infamously known as “The Boy in the Box”, and 30 years later, Paul speaks up about it for the first time, as his captor begs for freedom.-
