River Donaghey grew up in a cult. Or at least that’s what some people called it. His parents called it a “personal-growth seminar group.” Its leader called it “one big happy family.” But there was a dark side to the world River grew up in. One he never heard about as a kid.

Ep. 1: Pushed To the Limit - The Jane Stafford Story
When a headless corpse is found on a deserted dirt road in rural Nova Scotia the local RCMP are certain it’s the body of the town’s resident bully, Billy Stafford. He’s been a thorn in the cop’s side for years and they doubt anyone is going to miss him but they still need to figure out who pulled the trigger.
When Billy’s common-law wife Jane is arrested three days later she quickly confesses but claims she was acting in self-defence. After six years of unimaginable abuse and fearing for her life, Jane finally snapped.
Her story will make headlines across the country and ignite a much-needed debate about domestic violence and how the Canadian criminal justice system deals with abusers and their victims. Was Jane justified in her actions and what price will she ultimately pay for fighting back?
