Synopsis:

Ruth Barron is a beautiful young Australian who went to India in search of answers, but found herself quickly seduced by the mysterious world of a religious cult. When her family finds out, they grow deeply concerned and hire a top cult buster to capture and de-program her. But she proves to be more of a challenge than he had anticipated, especially when he begins to be seduced by her own mysterious charms.
