In the remote wilderness, one man vowed to have total control over his devoted followers, claiming to be in direct communication with God himself. What began as a promise of purity and salvation would soon spiral into a nightmare of torture, manipulation, and murder.

In Part 1, we explore the beginning of the Ant Hill Kids, a community built on blind faith, ruled by fear, and led by a man whose thirst for power would destroy them all.
