When a clinical psychologist enters his waiting room in 1999 to
summon his new client, he notices all the chairs are empty.
Suddenly, his eyes fall upon a woman crouched in the corner with
her arms wrapped tightly around herself in a protective posture.
Dr. Hirsch has just met Anne, a woman who would eventually relay an
unforgettable story of incredible abuse and amazing survival as she
gathered the courage to escape the darkness of cult abuse.
Within the walls of a strict and isolated religious community
that advocated traditional values and social responsibility,
another reality lurked. As Dr. Hirsch delves deep into Anne's past,
she begins to expose a history of physical, emotional, and sexual
abuse by leaders of a religious cult who kept children in cages,
ruled mysterious deaths accidental, and tragically misused religion
to justify the acts. As Dr. Hirsch questions why such
incomprehensible acts occurred in the first place, a powerful and
trusting relationship ensues between Anne and her therapist,
changing both of them forever.
As Anne summons the strength to testify against cult leaders, a
captivating story of resilience is revealed, providing wonderful
insight into how psychotherapy helped lead one woman out of the
darkness and into the light.
