Toby Dorr is a middle-aged mom trapped in a loveless marriage—until a cancer diagnosis changes her from someone who’d never jaywalked into a scheming, lovelorn lawbreaker who smuggles her inmate crush out of prison in a dog crate, leading to one of the biggest car chases in Tennessee history.

Brian, can you feel it?
Love is in the air.
Ooh, yeah, I feel it.
You know, true love is hard to find.
Sometimes you think you found true love only to find out that you picked the wrong person and now you're a convicted felon.
A convicted felon serving years behind bars.
Fugitives, prison stories.
We know, we've covered them, we've done documentaries about them.
But.
But this is actually a new one for us.
A genuine love story.
A rom com turned thriller.
Buckle up for a wild ride that turns a 40 something mom who never stole as much as a candy bar in her entire life into a fugitive with the help of an inmate serving a life sentence, a menagerie of rescue dogs, and an early aughts rock ballad built for two.
Welcome to Scamtown, an Apple original podcast produced by Fun Meter.
I'm Brian Lazarthe.
And I'm James Lee Hernandez.
We're filmmakers who've been trading stories now for quite some time.
Obsessed and compelled to bring some of our favorites to life.
We love a surprising heist, an intricate scam, or just pulling back the curtain on something you think you know.
Entering a world that's stranger than fiction, and riding that line between comedy and tragedy.
