| Summary |
Follows four families as they leave a controlling and repressive church in South Carolina and come to believe that they have been members of a cult. The film documents them intimately as they enter Wellspring, the only accredited live-in cult treatment facility in the world. After the treatment these families come to believe they were brainwashed to give up control of their lives to the Pastor and his wife, allowing themselves and their children to undergo severe abuse in order to make heaven. As they emerge from the safety of the treatment facility, the families return to their homes hoping to obtain justice and struggling to establish "normal" lives. The film also gives voice to the Pastor and his wife as they struggle to cope with the "betrayal" of their church family and rebuild their congregation.
