Young mother Sherri Papini disappears while jogging and reappears three weeks later on Thanksgiving Day. She claims that two Hispanic women kidnapped and abused her. Four years later, new evidence reveals that her abduction was a hoax she perpetrated to spend time with an ex-boyfriend.

This true crime tale subverts the typical victim narrative by shifting focus from a harrowing abduction to a calculated deception. Instead of hunting for a kidnapper, you find yourself dissecting a woman's elaborate performance designed to escape her reality.
