The stories in "Surviving Evil" are about actual crimes and people's will to fight for life and find courage when all hope seems lost. The victims of the horrific incidents describe what they experienced when they found their lives in the hands of cold-blooded predators, including how they summoned the strength and fearlessness to turn the tables on the assailants in order to stay alive. Actress Charisma Carpenter, best-known for her role on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and its spinoff, "Angel," hosts the 10-episode series, providing viewers with a first-person point of view as the survivor of a nearly fatal crime when she was 22.

From the outside, families seem like harmonious units in loving homes. But you don't necessarily know what secrets families are hiding from the outside world.

Sibling rivalries, disputes over family businesses and infidelity are some of the factors that lead to the families' ultimate betrayals.

The stories contain first-person accounts from friends and family of the victims, and commentary from authorities and true-crime experts. Best yet? It's hosted by Emmy-winning actress Susan Lucci, who's been a part of a few steamy scandals and deadly dalliances in her daytime soap career.

The series' hourlong episodes dramatize actual cases through visceral re-enactments and pointed testimony of victims, family members and law enforcement authorities, revealing what happens when stalkers can't have what -- or who -- they want, and stop at nothing to ensure that no one else can either. The chilling accounts probe the mechanics of an obsessive mind and the devastating impact of delusion.
