The narrative explores the complex life of John List, a man who appeared gentle and devout yet harbored deep psychological issues stemming from his World War II experiences. Despite his outward kindness, he struggled with maintaining jobs and parenting. In a shocking turn, he committed a brutal murder of his family in 1971 and escaped to start anew under a false identity. Diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, the story raises questions about the long-lasting impacts of war on mental health and the tragic consequences that can ensue.
