 Bailey is hired by the Blanton family to investigate a cult which is attempting to mesmerize Cyrus Blanton. The cult is run by Mr. Paradise who is building a new community called Eden which rejects the future and embraces the ways of the past. Upon meeting Paradise Bailey becomes suspicious of him and his motives and believes he is more con man than prophet. Lt. Gilmore and the police can do nothing because Paradise is careful not to break any laws. When Blanton falls under Paradise s influence and wills a large portion of his estate to Eden Bailey sends Roscoe and Kookie in undercover as applicants to snoop around.
