   Summary

   The year is 2024-2025 and the Van Der Linde gang is a cult with Dutch Van Der Linde being its leader. Sadie Adler and Charles Smith are FBI agents, approached by one of the cult members with a deal - they will introduce Sadie and Charles, allow them to infiltrate the cult in exchange for immunity. Of course, nothing about the case is easy.
