An arrest in Florida leads to the exposure of another plot by supremacists, and the FBI invites award-winning investigative reporter Clint Buchalla to interview as many suspects as are willing to talk. It's not his first time working on a controversial article for his newspaper, the Washington Ledger. At their home together, Clint and his lover, Lucien Cormier, meet their new neighbors: a divorced woman and her two sons. One of the sons seems terribly troubled, and the woman's situation prompts Clint to search public records for information. Ultimately, he finds a trail that leads him to another pedophile priest? and thus a series of articles exposing him and the church's complicity in covering up his crimes. Meanwhile, Lucien hears from the lawyer who serves as trustee of his education fund and learns that because he was thrifty enough with his education funds to leave him money to spare, he will come into additional money on his twenty-fifth birthday... a windfall that could allow him to realize his dream of opening a Cajun restaurant.
