After a woman bursts into flames in the midst of jumping off a building, wannabe investigative reporter Kim Levitt looks into what caused her death, encountering a StrawFeminist [[ReligionOfEvil cult]] and ''freaking huge insects'' during her search.

* AffablyEvil: Janice.
--> '''Janice:''' "You look wonderful! Welcome to the family! Now, you have to bring us the boy..."

* IncrediblyLamePun: A guy watching a news report about a woman who burst into flames before falling off a building remarks "She was a hot one".
