Every summer since 1873, members of the secretive Bohemian Club have gathered in a redwood grove north of San Francisco, and this film follows the attempt to get a camera inside. Using forged credentials and hidden equipment, the crew documents the club's Cremation of Care ceremony, a robed ritual performed before a forty-foot stone owl that critics call pagan and members call theater. Footage and photographs identify past attendees ranging from US presidents to media executives and oil magnates, and the narration argues that the Grove functions as an unaccountable backroom where policy gets shaped away from public view. Interviews with researchers and former insiders lay out the club's history and membership rolls, while the smuggled ceremony footage anchors the film's central claim that what happens under the redwoods matters far beyond them. It plays as an infiltration story first and an argument second, built around the rare fact of a camera getting where it was never supposed to go.
