Dr. Mark Sawusch was a successful Ophthalmologist working in the Pacific Palisades while living in a multi-million-dollar beach front home in Malibu, California. Unfortunately, in 2016 Mark burned his hands so badly he was unable to perform surgery anymore. He went to his favorite ice cream shop one day in the summer of 2017 and came across Anthony Flores and Anna Moore and the three hit it off. Mark was struggling with his mental health, so he befriended the couple and allowed them to live at his home rent free in order to help him with daily life. Although that decision would disrupt his life even more.
