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.

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.

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.

We talk with Dr. Julia Baird, board certified clinical psychologist, trying to unpack just how and why this could happen. 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”.
