About this show

Executive Producer Jason Bateman and Executive Producer/Writer Craig Rosenberg take a stab at society's obsession with true-crime in the dark comedic thriller "BASED ON A TRUE STORY" -- a gripping tale of a realtor, a former tennis star and a plumber whose lives unexpectedly collide. When married couple Ava (Kaley Cuoco) and Nathan (Chris Messina) come to the harsh realization that their youthful dreams are not coming to fruition, they devise a plan to collaborate with an enigmatic plumber (Tom Bateman) they have recently hired, whom they have come to believe is an infamous serial killer on the loose. At a crossroads with a baby on the way, the pair soon realizes that this unique partnership could backfire on them at any moment, and they could lose everything. A cautionary tale, Ava and Nathan become faced with an existential crisis that begs the question: How much are you willing to risk to win the game of life?
