Chicago, Illinois. 1893.

A grand hotel opens its doors on Michigan Avenue, just in time for the World’s Fair.

For more than a century, millions of guests would pass through its halls.

Some… apparently never left.

…and who might be next.

In 2007, four people vanished from a remote town in Western Australia.

A man.

A woman.

Her five-year-old daughter.

And one friend who followed them.

They left behind a note saying they had gone to Brazil.

Nearly twenty years later, no one has found them.

They’d spent the evening drinking, laughing, and according to Sarah Boone, acting like children.

A game of hide-and-seek.

At least, that’s what she told detectives.

But when 42-year-old Jorge Torres Jr. was found dead inside a suitcase in a Winter Park, Florida apartment, investigators would discover that the most important witness had already recorded what happened.

And the videos she captured would transform a story about an accident… into something far more disturbing.

In 1933, Michael Malloy was a regular at a Bronx speakeasy when a group of men decided he was worth more dead than alive.

But Malloy kept surviving.

The newspapers would call him Iron Mike.

The man who wouldn’t die.

The truth was uglier.

Jesse James Hollywood wanted to be feared.

In the San Fernando Valley drug scene, fear came cheap — a little money, a little swagger, a few friends willing to do what they were told.

Then a debt got personal.

And fifteen-year-old Nick Markowitz was pulled into a world where everyone wanted to act dangerous, but no one wanted to be responsible.
