Deadly Worlds Hidden Dangers aka Deadly Devotion

Image 1 / 10

Hidden among the suburbs and strip malls of our nation, there lies a colorful constellation of unique subcultures and secret societies that live according to their own set of rules, rituals and traditions. In Deadly Devotion, we recount the true stories of everyday people who search for belonging in these strange worlds, and end up paying a fatal price:  a vibrant young woman abandons her faith and her family to join the flock of a crusading Christian Polygamist;  a single mom embarks on a fateful journey that teaches her about the unwritten code of the Hells Angels; an ambitious career woman joins a self-help group led by an overzealous guru on a dangerous mission.   Ranging from an Amish sect to an apocalyptic New Age cult to a centuries-old Gypsy clan, each of our episodes leads us to the dark underbelly of a different fascinating world, while telling some of the most compelling true-crime stories in recent history.

 

These gripping, unpredictable narratives feature expertly crafted storytelling with emotional depth and drama, as well as the mystery and psychological suspense of a classic cinematic thriller. Showcasing chilling ‘insider’ interviews from members of these secret worlds, exclusive archival footage, and vivid cinematic re-creations, Deadly Devotion tells unforgettable and intriguing true-crime stories that stand above the rest.
