Filmed last spring at a luxury retreat in Cabo, the series debuted April 27, 2025, and unfolded over seven episodes full of heartfelt connections, dramatic face‑offs, and unfiltered confessions .

The Boy Who Refused to Blink
I. The Child: Born Guilty The boy was born on a Tuesday—a day his village called Damnation’s Dawn. His mother bled silence, and the doctor wore no gloves. The hospital bed was cold; the window open in winter. They say he didn’t cry when he was born. They say he blinked once, then never again.
