Quebec is in shock after learning of the fire-and-brimstone deaths of five members of the Solar Temple who took their own lives in a small village outside Quebec City. A small house in St-Casimir explodes into flames, leaving behind five charred bodies for the police to pull from the rubble. Three teenagers -- 13, 14 and 16; the children of one of the couples that died in the fire -- are discovered in a shed behind the house, alive but heavily drugged.
Police and firemen involved in the investigation believe it is just a routine fire until evidence shows that the fire was started deliberately, fuelling suspicion the victims were part of a mass-suicide. When the police learn French national Didier Queze owned the house, they instantly make the link to the Solar Temple. In this clip, questions are asked as to why and how the children were drugged, whether or not they were meant to die, and how their parents took their own lives.
