Premise

Over the course of three years, filmmakers were granted full access to Swan and her cohort. The docu-series covers Swan's upbringing, her history of chronic physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, her rise to fame, and covers allegations of her being a cult leader. Freeform calls the series, “an arresting and provocative exploration inside the world of one of today's most controversial spiritual teachers and her dedicated followers.”[2]
