A disturbing true story where a woman is held captive by an escaped mental patient and forced on the run for five months in Florida

What's Dana H. Like?

Dana H is a naïve orderly at a psych ward who is taken hostage by an escaped mental patient. A harrowing, but true Stockholm syndrome story that unfolds across Southern Florida in a bizarre mix of motels, hotels and tennis clubs. The kidnapping ordeal goes on for over five months and blurs the line between good and evil. Dana H. ultimately survives the trauma, but suffers terrible PTSD as a result of the ordeal, in which she feels compelled to fantasize about the torture to garner her own personal recovery and for the redemption of the assailant.

Is Dana H. Good for Kids?

Kidnapping is no fairy story and this show gives even some adults nightmares. The show is not suitable for children under the age of 16 or anyone with a nervous disposition
