Alex decides to investigate Billy Garrett's self-help empire, which focuses on retreats, after her initial idea falls through. The reason for her interest is partly due to her new employee, Zack Warren, who attended the latest retreat and sounded overly enthusiastic on the phone, and partly because of Billy's troubled history, including a conviction for negligent homicide five years ago. Alex approaches the podcast with an open mind, attending the retreat as a guest and gaining access to other guests who are free to speak openly.
