Unveiling one of the darkest sides of contemporary society, this documentary chronicles the experiences of three innocent people who became victims of stalkers, and the fear and frustration they endured as their security, careers and sanity were destroyed.

Many people associate stalking with celebrities — the Madonnas and David Lettermans of the world — but Dangerous Obsessions deals with a more frightening kind: the stalking of acquaintances, a terrible situation that can affect ordinary people.

Through the harrowing stories of Karen, Diane and Liam, the film examines what society has learned about stalking behaviour, and what still needs to change. As experts work toward understanding more about stalking, many victims are simply struggling to stay alive.
