Children of the Underground

Motivated by her daughter’s tragedy, Faye Yager is a vigilante on a mission to protect sexually abused children when the justice system fails. Faye ushers April and her daughter Mandy into her underground operation to escape Mandy’s allegedly abusive father, but her work hiding families lands her in the crosshairs of law enforcement.

As Faye’s criminal trial begins, the origin story of the Underground is told and more of Faye’s complexities are revealed. Christine, a former child of the Underground, looks back on her experience and more details about Faye’s devastating past come to light. Michelle, Faye’s daughter, tells her story.

As Faye’s trial continues, we look back on the “Satanic Panic” craze that swept America and how the effects rippled throughout Faye’s Underground. Kaylee, another former escapee, and Christine reflect on the allegations that they were being abused using satanic ritual practices. Faye’s trial reaches its dramatic conclusion.

In the aftermath of the trial, Faye finds herself and her network on the defensive with a growing number of enemies and critics. After four years of living a new life, April and Mandy are caught by police and April faces a trial of her own. A newspaper article documenting the Underground leads to what could be Faye’s biggest conflict yet.
