The harrowing true story of the Broberg family, whose daughter Jan was kidnapped multiple times over a period of years by a charismatic, obsessed family "friend." The Brobergs — devoted to their faith, family, and community — were utterly unprepared for the sophisticated tactics their neighbor used to exploit their vulnerabilities, drive them apart, and turn their daughter against them. This is the story of how their lives were permanently altered — and how they survived.

"NEVER CALL SOMEONE A FRIEND THAT YOU JUST MEET (when it comes to your kids) 😞"

"Wow. Just. Wow. I can't believe this is a true story. This show gave me the same feeling that "The Act" did. The acting is stupendous and the writing/storyline kept me intrigued the entire time. I would love to see more shows like this that are produced by the victims. It made this show all that more special."
"Jake Lacy is VERY good. Anna Paquin always “acts” the same (can’t act at all) regardless of her character. Tom Hanks son was good but looks and acts so much like his dad it was like Tom Hanks played the role. I watched because I was intrigued that this was a true story. It is incomprehensible that these parents could actually have been this gullible, this manipulated, and this caught up in hiding their own secrets that they allowed this to happen to their daughter and that it went on for so long! SPOILER ALERT….This predatory pedophile is now dead. Took the coward’s way out and killed himself. Thanks Berchtold. "
