 Synopsis
This 4-part drama tells the story of John Darwin faking his own death to claim life insurance and avoid bankruptcy. He and his wife Anne Darwin conspired to convince the insurance company that John had gone missing while kayaking alone, earning over £250,000 in insurance money. At that time, the financially troubled Darwin family had a mortgage to pay and had maxed out 13 credit cards, accumulating a debt of £64,000. Anne considered filing for bankruptcy, but was ultimately persuaded by her husband to carry out this seemingly absurd plan; however, the plan was successfully executed for five years, even deceiving their two sons. After receiving the insurance payout, John and Anne later moved to Panama, until John Darwin surfaced in London in 2007, which led to their exposure.
