In the overwhelming quiet of the woods, six runaways from city life embark on a silent retreat, run by an unseen teacher, or guru. When the layers of their daily lives are shed, from their designer clothes to sexual proclivities, their despair is primal. These strangers – partners Joan and Judy, former child actor Alicia, outdoors-hating Ned, gorgeous yoga teacher Rodney and Jan, a Pastor who hails from a small town in Finland and who has over-estimated his English language skills – must confront internal demons.

When a young actress finally lands a breakout role in the cutthroat film industry, she turns to an experimental drug to trigger authentic emotion. But as her performances soar, her grip on reality fractures.
