A spin-off of For My Man, this is a true crime series that features the outrageous and shocking stories of men who have been arrested for a crime they committed in the name of loyalty and love for their woman.

From a three-state killing spree to the mortuary turned house of horrors, these blinded-by-love love culprits have no limit as to how far they’ll go for the women in their lives.

The series premiere features the Fort Worth, Texas funeral home scandal that rocked US news headlines in 2014, in which police discovered the decaying bodies of six adults, one child and an infant, lying in unrefrigerated rooms.
