Description
In the summer of 1975, a maniacal preacher named Vernon LeGrande hits upon a brilliant scheme to use fake nuns to collect hundreds of thousands of dollars in the New York City subways. His forty disciples operate out of a three-story brownstone in Crown Heights and a summer camp called "LeGrande Acres" in the bucolic Catskills, where the bodies of his followers are still being discovered to this day.
