SEX, SCANDAL, MURDER & MAYHEM

Human trafficking, a sex scandal, political intrigue and murder—things start to boil over in Book II of the Fabubestan Exposés.

Led by the unassuming 'Legs' Morowitz, Fabufestan's script crew soon discover that the subject of their latest TV documentary has morphed into three separate issues: human trafficking, people smuggling and bogus refugees. To expose the horrors of this triple scourge, they have to convince their bosses to take on more financial risk to let them produce three, one-hour episodes, instead of the planned one-hour program.

"When we started looking into it for the prelims," Legs continued, "it was clear we'd got hold of a writhing python. We had no idea at the start how monstrous the people smuggling racket was."

Meanwhile, the new provincial government is reeling from its first political crisis: a high-profile sex scandal involving three of its elected members, charged with sex tourism and trafficking under-age Thai prostitutes to Canada. The Premier entrusts Angus McRossie, her Minister for Democratic Action, with crisis management. His wife objects to his involvement in such a sordid matter, and McRossie's personal life and political career start to unravel from there.
