The Mahmod family fled Iraq to pursue a better life in South London in the late 1990's, but a better life was not waiting there for the young girls in the family. The parents and other elders imposed strict, religious values onto Banaz Mahmod and her sisters; compromising everything they understood about right and wrong. When Banaz went missing in January of 2006, her boyfriend knew that her many warnings to police were, in fact, premonitions.

Annie Börjesson had been living in Edinburgh, Scotland and was eager to go home to visit her family and friends back in Sweden. She'd planned a trip to IKEA, a hair appointment, and packed two library books that she'd take back while she was in town, but she never got the chance because she was found dead on the beach on December 4, 2005. Police quickly ruled it a suicide, but was it really murder?
