The series centres on former "Bachelor" star Clayton Echard and a woman named Laura Owens, whose one-night stand led to a pregnancy claim that developed into a years-long legal battle. The docuseries is set to premiere sometime in 2027.

According to the logline, Owens met Echard through a potential real estate deal, and after a short connection she told him she was pregnant with his twins.

The documentary features exclusive interviews with Echard, his legal team, Owens' mother and other men targeted by Owens, as well as podcast host Stephani Young and the online detectives who helped unravel the story. For the first time, Owens also shares her own perspective on what transpired.S1S2

The series is executive produced by Nancy Glass, Erin Lee Carr and Keayr Braxton for Glass Entertainment Group, and by Danny Passman for Crybaby Media, with Braxton also serving as director.
