Plot Synopsis

DECEIVED uses first-person interviews and re-enactments to chronicle real-life stories about people who were betrayed by someone they trusted. Each 60-minute episode features one person, who was part of a sham, either as the victim or the mastermind, including: Tammi McCreary, who thought she had met the man of her dreams, Eric Perteet, a charismatic and ambitious doctor from Chicago, but faced a string of shocking lies shortly after their wedding; Abraham Kennard, a fast-talking pastor with an ambitious real estate investment opportunity, who used his lavish lifestyle and promises of enormous returns to lure hundreds of pastors and parishioners from churches across the country to give him money -- with no return; Rose Anglade, who was eager to begin her new life with the man of her dreams, Paul Francois, sold her NYC home, and shared her assets with her soul mate, but learned that it wasn't just her money that he'd taken; Corey Jenkins, a dual athlete with a potential pro career in either baseball or football, who was convinced by local agents that they were the only ones looking out for his true interests; Roxane Johnson-Sterling, who sought marital counseling when she and her husband, Albert Jackson Sterling, were expecting their second child, but he had a darker solution to their problem even though she thought the sessions were effective; Henry Terry, who worked as a security guard -- at least as far as his employer and the tenants of his building knew; and single mother Michelle McMullen, who went missing from her home town of Harrisburg, PA, while under investigation for stealing thousands of dollars from her employers at the local church.
