Episode 1: A Deeply Traumatic Incident

October 19, 2026 · 46 min

Show notes

Penny McGee has sent some version of her letter to about 25 strangers — Christine Blasey Ford, Lady Gaga and anyone else who might listen. Lauren Malloy is the one who answers. Inside a famous Newport, R.I.mansion, Penny lays out the harrowing night she claims she was raped by “J.,” a member of the same exclusive beach club. Four decades later, J. buys a house a mile down the road from Penny and it triggers trauma she had tried to bury for decades. She walks into the Narragansett police station to report a rape that happened before some of the detectives were born. Then she goes looking for other women, and finds one who never got the chance to come forward. That’s because she was found dead four years after that night at the club, last seen with J. But there are no perfect victims and Penny certainly has her skeletons. And when Lauren finds out the shocking crime that Penny herself is accused of, she's in too deep to walk away.
