From an almost-innocent dealing with a serial killer to a couple ambitious actors who'll do almost anything to get ahead in their careers, here are five stories of ordinary people who walk over a fine line and find themselves in criminal territory, either as victims or perpetrators – they've messed up or are messed up. Some manage to squeak through all right. Some not so much. Grab your weapon of choice and come on in.

Contains "The Tides", "The Grocery Zoo Story", "Fun with Broken Bones", "An Actor's Life", and "The Final Inch".
