Imagine finding a single red boot and a fistful of wildflowers in an abandoned warehouse, the only trace left by an organization that vanished overnight. What kind of cult or sect leaves behind such a haunting clue?

We follow Crystal Rafferty, a methodical young woman who joined seeking purpose, only to witness the unraveling of a system built on one man's credentials.
