Три подростка отвечают на интернет-предложение сексуального характера, но все их эротические фантазии заканчиваются тем, что, очнувшись после потери сознания, они оказываются в заложниках у фанатиков религиозной общины. В стремлении направить на путь истинный сотни заблудших душ местный священник считает оправданным пролить кровь парочки согрешивших, которыми являются главные герои. В попытке спастись из ловушки сектантов они обнаруживают комнату, полностью заполненную оружием. Становится ясно, что тут все настроены агрессивно, и их агрессия, судя по количеству боевых припасов, способна уложить на лопатки тысячи. Но что сильнее: религиозная идея проповедника или животное желание выжить ни в чем не повинных парней?
In this two-part Channel 4 series, Professor Richard Dawkins challenges what he describes as 'a process of non-thinking called faith'. He describes his astonishment that, at the start of the 21st century, religious faith is gaining ground in the face of rational, scientific truth. Science, based on scepticism, investigation and evidence, must continuously test its own concepts and claims. Faith, by definition, defies evidence: it is untested and unshakeable, and is therefore in direct contradiction with science. In addition, though religions preach morality, peace and hope, in fact, says Dawkins, they bring intolerance, violence and destruction. The growth of extreme fundamentalism in so many religions across the world not only endangers humanity but, he argues, is in conflict with the trend over thousands of years of history for humanity to progress to become more enlightened and more tolerant.

In 1972, a seemingly typical shoestring budget pornographic film was made in a Florida hotel, "Deep Throat," starring Linda Lovelace. This film would surpass the wildest expectation of everyone involved to become one of the most successful independent films of all time. It caught the public imagination which met the spirit of the times, even as the self appointed guardians of public morality struggled to suppress it, and created, for a brief moment, a possible future where sexuality in film had a bold artistic potential. This film covers the story of the making of this controversial film, its stunning success, its hysterical opposition along with its dark side of mob influence and allegations of the on set mistreatment of the film's star.
