For over a decade, Christopher Harkins presented himself as a charming, charismatic, and successful businessman searching for his perfect match. Using dating apps, he targeted attractive, intelligent, and career-driven women, swiftly drawing them into intense relationships.
Despite countless reports to the police, action was not taken until late 2019, when one brave woman broke her silence. Reaching out to journalist Catriona Stewart it set in motion a chain of events that uncovered one devastating revelation after another.
This feature-length documentary delves deep into the ripple effect sparked by a single courageous woman going public.
Five women share their personal accounts of dating Christopher Harkins, representing a wider group of survivors. While each experience is unique, the similarities reveal a chilling pattern of predatory behaviour. Through powerful firsthand and court testimonies this film reveals how Harkins evaded detection for so long, including private messages and voicemails that expose his manipulative tactics and the lengths he went to avoid being caught.
Raw and unflinching, this documentary shines a light on the dangers women face in online dating and the power of female solidarity. It shows how unity and determination became an unstoppable force in bringing a significant offender to justice.
