Summary

In this episode, we discuss a story reminiscent of the Dark Water series. Tom and Jackie Hawks worked hard all their life to buy their dream boat - a 55 foot yacht named the Well Deserved. Vacations were spent on the water, and the couple even sold their home to live on the boat. Unfortunately, what seemed like a dream turned into a nightmare.
