Investigative journalist Jeff Sefton has learned to laugh off his younger brother Nate's relentless string of obsessions, especially his latest rant that a hit TV show intends to harm him. However, when his brother mysteriously disappears, Jeff takes Nate's paranoia seriously, and in the process uncovers the dark underworld of the TV series "Cult" and its rabid fans, who are obsessed with the show's charismatic cult leader, Billy Grimm. As the show's gruesome plot twists begin to play out in the real world, Jeff enlists the help of a young research assistant Skye in a race to save Nate and unravel the mystery behind the TV series whose hardcore fans would literally kill to see what happens next...
In the Blood
Jeff enlists tech-savvy E.J. to help in his search for his brother Nate. Skye finally reveals to Jeff that she took the researcher job on “Cult” to learn more about Steven Rae. Meanwhile, at the production office, associate producer Peter Grey brushes off Skye’s concerns that some of the “Cult” fans believe there are hidden messages embedded in the show. On the television show, Kelly and Paz discover a body buried vertically, and Kelly believes that this might be a message from Billy.
Being Billy
Jeff finds a surprise visitor in Nate’s apartment who tells him about a dangerous on-campus game that Nate had been hosting known as "Being Billy," which involves role-playing scenes from past "Cult" episodes. Jeff and Skye follow clues that might explain the next scene the players will try to recreate. Meanwhile, E.J. (Stacy Farber) searches Nate’s laptop and finds that he’s been active online and sent a cryptic email to a hidden recipient list. On the television show, Kelly confronts Billy.
Get with the Program
Jeff tells Skye about Ama, a woman he met on a “Cult” fan site who claims that her husband is missing after becoming obsessed with the show. When they finally meet her, Jeff notices that she has a “Cult” notebook that looks eerily like Nate’s notebook. Ama introduces Jeff and Skye to a man who finds and deprograms cult members. EJ locates an IP address on a disk that could bring Jeff and Skye one step closer to finding Nate. Meanwhile, on the television show, Kelly finds Professor Patrick, the man who deprogrammed her, at Billy’s compound.
The Kiss
Jeff receives news that one of Nate’s friends might be planning something at an upcoming “Cult” fan costume party, so Jeff and Skye attend the party dressed as Billy and Kelly. At the party, Skye’s drink is spiked with a hallucinogenic drug similar to a drug used on the television show “Cult.” Sakelik warns Jeff that he might be in over his head. Also, at the party, Roger meets a mysterious stranger named Stuart. Meanwhile, on the television show, Kelly marries Billy in a flashback scene.
The Good Fight
Skye collapses the morning after the “Cult” fan party, suffering a serious reaction to the drug she was slipped. The doctors urge Jeff to locate a sample of the drug so they can find a way to reverse its effects in order to save Skye’s life. Detective Sakelik arrives at the hospital but refuses to help. Jeff suspects that the drug might be hidden at her place so he takes matters into his own hands. Meanwhile, inside Skye’s hallucinogenic state, Billy, Kelly and Skye’s father Quentin encourage Skye to give up and stop searching for the truth.
Suffer the Children
E.J. slips Jeff a copy of Sakelik’s police personnel file which reveals that Sakelik was taken into custody by Child Protective Services 25 years ago after being found with other abandoned children at a house in Arrowhead. Jeff and Skye locate the house and question the owner, Annabelle. Sakelik tracks Jeff and Skye to the house and they barely escape with their lives. Stuart continues to befriend Roger. Meanwhile, on the television show, Kelly finds a lock of Meadow’s hair in the trunk of Billy’s car.
The Devil You Know
Jeff and Skye struggle to find evidence against Sakelik to use as leverage to gain information on Nate. Stuart invites Roger to a weekend getaway at his Santa Barbara estate. Skye has lunch with her mother and the two discuss the past. Meanwhile, on the television show, Kelly strikes a deal with Billy to get her sister Meadow back.
