Episode 9 -- "Death Row"

Carol and Reggie Sumner were high school sweethearts in the late 1960s, but after graduation they broke up and went their separate ways. 40 years later, after both of their respective marriages ended in divorce, the pair reconnected through a random unintentional phone call. Within days of this chance encounter, the two were happily going on dates again as if they were picking up right where they left off in high school. The pair would get married and move to Florida where they planned to live out their days, relaxing on the beach and enjoying each other's company. However, shortly after moving to "The Sunshine State" a very unexpected guest would turn up at their front door, who would ultimately change their lives forever.
