Following a long fascination with the religion and with much experience in dealing with eccentric, unpalatable and unexpected human behavior, the beguilingly unassuming Theroux won't take no for an answer when his request to enter the Church's headquarters is turned down. Inspired by the Church's use of filming techniques, and aided by ex-members of the organization, Theroux uses actors to replay some incidents people claim they experienced as members in an attempt to better understand the way it operates. In a bizarre twist, it becomes clear that the Church is also making a film about Louis Theroux.

Фильм исследует тайную кухню одной из самых богатых и влиятельных организаций мира — так называемой «Церкви Саентологии». Документальный триллер переворачивает представления зрителя о возможностях современных сект и о том, как далеко они способны зайти в стремлении защитить свои деньги и власть. Фильм проливает свет на засекреченные стороны жизни Тома Круза и Джона Траволты, ставших «звёздными лицами» саентологии, и основан на ошеломляющих показаниях бывших топ-менеджеров организации, которые долгие годы были вынуждены молчать о происходящем за её стенами.
