In 1976 law enforcement in Michigan uncovered a pedophile ring operating on North Fox Island, a privately owned property in Lake Michigan. Operating under the name "Brother Paul's Children's Mission" activities on North Fox Island allowed wealthy men like Dyer Grossman, Francis D. Shelden and their accomplice, Gerald Richards access to underprivileged kids who were sent to the island for a "camp experience". This episode also uncovers a similar operation in Tennessee run by "Father Bud" and discusses the efforts of "Adam Aristotle Starchild" to assist men like Shelden in fleeing the country, and charges of sexual assault against young boys, while protecting their financial assets.
