We have a collective fascination with vigilantism. Crusaders for the greater good, often covered in unique and creative costume, dashing through the shadows and snatching up evil doers before the evil can be done. We love characters like Batman and Spiderman because they protect the most vulnerable people from the most dangerous predators. But they’re just fiction… right? What if I told you the world had a Batman once, and he was a...

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
