Some of the darkest corners of America are places most of us are fortunate enough to stay away from. But that doesn’t mean they don’t exist. Far too many individuals are born into colliding worlds of addiction, sex trafficking, and violence. A lot of those people will never have a chance at a better life. Many won’t even make it out alive. Others however... do get that rare opportunity to try again. Britnee Blair, who now identifies as Samantha Haynes, is one of those lucky few...but the story of how she made it out and got to the other side is an ugly one. She spares no details of the horrific things she’s seen and done herself during this one of a kind, eye-opening interview.
Written by Michael Dunphy Jr., Executive Produced by Michael Ojibway. Special Thanks to Samantha Haynes.

The Dance
Matthew Terry was an all American guy from Michigan. He was a good looking man in his late 40’s, well liked, charming, and even involved in his community. There’s no wonder why Michelle Rogers fell for him when they first met on a dating app. back in 2017...but do you ever really know someone until you live with them? After taking the leap and moving in together, Matt’s true colors began to show...and they weren’t nearly as bright and vibrant as he’d tried to portray. Soon, a dark past would be swept from underneath the rug...but not before Michelle found herself with a knife to her throat on the floor of her own kitchen.
