Plots(1)

Maisy is desperate to find something - anything - that points to her purpose in life. Unable to get out of her pajamas or her relationship with Ben, so supportive he's boring, Maisy latches onto Yvette, a life coach she follows on Instagram. Maisy is thrilled to receive the invite to Yvette’s women’s retreat at a luxurious compound in the wilderness. This is her time to shine. To look within. To find meaning. However, when Maisy discovers the compound is far from what social media advertised and Yvette is hardly the “second coming of Gwyneth Paltrow”, the retreat takes a sinister turn.
