A woman is snatched from her home in the Nevada desert and the investigation immediately gets weirder than anyone bargained for.

Wicked Game: Devil in the Desert tracks the hunt for the mastermind behind the kidnapping — and the deeper detectives dig, the more the case stops looking like a crime of opportunity and starts looking like the messy end of a very personal grudge.

The doc threads the abduction through the early, lawless days of legalized cannabis in the Southwest, where new money, old enemies, and bad decisions collide.

It is a tight, twisty watch — less interested in being lurid than in showing how obsession and opportunity find each other. Good pick if you liked the slow-build of American Nightmare.
