Eternal Values - Part 1: "The Man From Nantucket"

It was 1978, and the effortlessly handsome Hoyt Richards was a 16-year-old football talent summering in Nantucket. Chasing girls and free beer was about all on this young boy’s mind.

So when he meets a man on the beach who was rumored to throw great parties, Hoyt thinks nothing of it. 

Little did Hoyt know…he had just come face-to-face with a budding cult leader that would take his life in a direction he never could’ve dreamed.
