Publisher's Synopsis
A burnt-out filmmaker. A mysterious cult. She's hoping to break out with a true-crime hit. She'll find true horror instead.
Katrin has spent years grinding on the LA indie film scene, throwing herself into her work to make up for a sheltered upbringing by embittered ex-cultists. Now she's crashing on her friend Nira's couch, burnt out and fed up after one too many petty humiliations. She has no prospects, no confidence, and no future.
Then, one night, she learns about a controversial religious movement that sounds an awful lot like the one to which her parents belonged. Desperate to get back on her feet, and egged on by Nira, she starts an investigation into the Highest Seeking Faithful, hoping it leads to the hottest new true-crime documentary.
Joined by an old friend's little brother, a budding filmmaker and cult survivor himself, Katrin accepts an invitation to the group's compound in the Sierra Nevada. The idea is to uncover the group's dirty secrets by letting its leaders tell on themselves. But what Katrin doesn't know is that the group has other things to share with her, and some of those things might not even be within their control.
