Ep 3. Hostage: Keith and Marc

Keith and Marc found themselves in a nightmare scenario when they became hostages in a small convenience store in North Carolina. The two friends stopped to grab some snacks on their way home from a road trip when an armed man entered the store and demanded money from the cashier.

Within moments, Keith and Marc were tied up and held at gunpoint along with the store clerk. As the hours passed, they were subjected to constant threats and abuse from the gunman, who seemed to be growing increasingly agitated and erratic.

Despite their terrifying ordeal, Keith and Marc remained calm and focused, using their wits and teamwork to try and stay alive. They tried to maintain a rapport with the gunman and keep him talking, hoping to build a connection that might allow them to negotiate their way out.

But when the situation took a violent turn, they had to rely on their physical strength and ingenuity to try and escape. With no way to call for help and no idea if anyone outside knew what was happening, their only hope was to find a way to break free and run for their lives.

I Survived captures their harrowing story, told in their own words, as they recount the fear and desperation they experienced during those harrowing hours. Despite the trauma they endured, Keith and Marc emerged from the experience with a new appreciation for the value of life and the bonds of friendship.
