    S1:E1

    The wife of high-powered influential Harry Piper was kidnapped. A random note was left - “We want $1 million dollars to be paid in 50,000 unmarked $20 bills.” The family paid it. It would be two full days till Virginia was found chained up to a tree. Alive. She never saw the kidnapper’s face. After three long years, the police presented her with a few audio clips. She perked up. “That’s him! My kidnapper! I’m sure of it! I remember his voice.” If this were true Virginia was lucky to be alive. She was listening to the voice of the Hammer Man- who smashed women to death with his bare hands.

    The three girls never went anywhere without each other. They were besties. Well, except Biology Class - the one class that only Rachel and Sheila were in.

That’s how the two girls started to plot their best friend’s murder in biology class.

    It’s said that some pathological liars are even considered functionally delusional. They can even pass a lie detector test. They believe their own lies. Sometimes they re-write their lies and memories on the spot. You can see their eyes flutter, a shift in attitude, and boom. They are living a new reality and you almost feel like you’re the one going crazy. But as humans, we can detect lies, right? Or can we? What happens when a pathological liar takes a stand in front of the whole nation to say - “my child has been kidnapped by her nanny! Help me!” Would you believe her?

Drip. “Sir, I think your car is leaking.” They both looked down to see a red liquid drip down onto the pavement. The gas attendant didn’t know that there were 3 bodies in the trunk - and the driver was going to keep it that way.

    The FBI agent walked into the warehouse. It was exactly what he expected… A concrete fortress, barely any natural light, and then he saw it. The walls. The walls were filled with rows and rows of decapitated heads, skulls, and bones. Some still had rotting flesh on them - others were completely skeletonized. When the FBI agent made it to the back he came face to face with the man. He was shirtless, barefoot, and stirring a giant pot with a head inside. “I wasn’t expecting you today” - the man said... Do they know each other? What is behind the mysterious Vidocq Society?
