Plot Synopsis

Executive produced by Michael Bay, BORN EVIL: THE SERIAL KILLER AND THE SAVIOR is five-part documentary that explores the life and crimes of lesser-known serial killer Hadden Clark. The docuseries delves into the inner workings of the volatile and dysfunctional Clark family, Hadden's path of depravity, and the shocking confessions he made to his cellmate that sent investigators on a search to solve the cold cases allegedly linked to him. Anchored in exclusive access to Clark himself through private, recorded conversations initiated and conducted by Bay, BORN EVIL: THE SERIAL KILLER AND THE SAVIOR showcases a chilling portrait of one of the most terrifying serial killers in recent decades. The docuseries offers insight into Clark's traumatic childhood, a violent family history, and unpacks the many unsolved cold cases linked to his prison confessions. Explosive interviews with key individuals are also layered throughout, with Hadden's brother Geoff Clark going on the record and then, most jarring, the recipient of Clark's confessions, his former cellmate Jack Truitt whom Clark believed to be 'Jesus' and his personal savior. Featuring additional, unprecedented access to Clark's personal journals and illustrations outlining his crimes, BORN EVIL also offers a road map to the litany of unsolved cases Clark allegedly left in his wake. Through interviews with law enforcement and loved ones of the victims, the docuseries sheds insight into the investigation, and into the lingering impact of Clark's crimes and the tragic repercussions of a serial killer who flew under the radar for too long.
