[Part 1] The exclusive story of how John Darwin - who faked his own death in a canoeing accident - was brought to justice. Darwin was drowning in debt when he paddled out into the North Sea in 2002. Six years later he walked into a police station claiming to have lost his memory - but detectives soon began unravelling his story, and found a trail that stretched around the world. In a series of remarkable interviews, he admitted the whole thing had been a scam dreamt up by him and his wife. With unique access, this film shows how the fraud that they hoped would make them rich ended with them behind bars.

Most people like Daniel spend their lives in prisons or long stay mental hospitals, but Daniel's psychiatrist really doesn't want to see him locked up. Is there an alternative?
