Dr. Wilson is a forensic psychologist who works for the FBI, specializing in cults and religiously motivated crimes. When Minnow Bly is brought to juvenile detention, Dr. Wilson meets with her to find out more about the cult and its leader, The Prophet. He’s trying to understand why 100 people walked into the woods and completely abandoned society.

Dr. Wilson is a thoughtful type. It’s his job to analyze people and figure out how they think. He’s drawn to Minnow and her quiet exterior which, he realizes, hides a dangerous streak. He wants answers from Minnow, but Minnow wants something from him as well.

Soon secrets from Dr. Wilson’s own past come to light. Who’s trying to stop his investigation? How can Minnow help him come to terms with his own past?

However, Minnow’s life changes forever when the cult is burned to the ground. She is arrested after an altercation and sent to a juvenile detention center.
