In today’s episode, we’ll delve into a web of deception, obsession, and chilling murders as we uncover the dark conspiracy behind the seemingly unrelated murders of Miriam Haines and Samuel Bruno.

Miriam was a free-spirited young woman living life on her own terms, while Samuel was a wealthy man with a strained relationship with his son. 

Guy, caught in a loveless marriage with Miriam, dreams of a life with his true love after their divorce. However, his plans take an unexpected turn when he meets Charles Bruno on a train journey. Charles, fascinated by the concept of murder, proposes a deadly deal that sends Guy's life spiraling into chaos.

As Detective Arthur Gerard starts investigating the murder of Samuel Bruno, he uncovers a haunting connection to Miriam's unsolved murder. The evidence leads Gerard to suspect Guy's involvement, raising questions about Guy's culpability in both deaths. Was Guy an unwilling accomplice, or did his choices play a more significant role in the tragic events that unfolded?

Today’s episode is based on Strangers on a Train by Patricia Highsmith.
