Deadly Desire

About this episode

So often in life we aren't content with just having a roof over our heads and food on the table. We always seem to strive for more: better jobs, lots of money and true love. While sometimes the ambition for these things motivate us to work harder, sometimes these desires turn deadly. When we become obsessed with having more and taking more, we'll stop at nothing to get exactly what we want, no matter who gets hurt in the process.    


First, killer love

Followed by revenge of the grieving 

Then, the deadly price of beauty 

Finally in our featured story, a dark secret with a terrible end
