Episode 1: I'm Carrie Jade Williams!

EP1: When we first went to meet Carrie Jade Williams in 2021, we were blown away by her strength, her determination and her untold story. She was a young woman on a pioneering journey, not only to help herself, but to help others. We wanted to help her tell her story. But then we slowly began to realise that all was not as it seems. (2024)

Episode 2: I’m Samantha Cookes!

Having found out that Carrie Jade Williams never existed, we go in search of the real person behind it all, Samantha Cookes and go right to where this story all began, in the West of England. Following Samantha’s life story takes us all over the UK and across the Irish sea as we begin to get inside a much bigger story than we thought possible…

Episode 3: I'm Lucy Fitzwilliams!

Samantha Cookes is now living as Lucy Fitzwilliams. She’s moved to Dublin and begins to settle into a new community in the affluent south side, quickly becoming a friendly face. Lucy begins working with children. But then things start to unravel when two local women begin to question who they’ve left into their lives.

Episode 4: I’m Rebecca Fitzgerald!

Knowing she’s been rumbled in Dublin, 'Lucy' (aka Samantha Cookes) disappears before showing up on the opposite side of the country, at a small village on the West Coast of Ireland. She begins work as an au pair and moves into the home and lives of another unsuspecting family, caring for their children.
