A dark, episodic exploration of a spiritual sect's descent into violence and depravity, blending horror with philosophical inquiry into liberation and karma.

Composed of three episodes—titled Kali, Shakti, and Devi—and linked within a narrative framework, it tells the story of the Taylor-Eriksson group, its members, and their extreme practices in search of awareness and liberation from karma. These practices, spiraling into violence and sex, ultimately turn into real nightmares.
