Peter and Lorna, a young couple in Los Angeles, set out to make an investigative documentary about a mysterious cult. They gain entry into the cult, led by a woman named Maggie who claims to be from the year 2054. Maggie lives in a hidden basement, where she tells her followers about the hardships of the future. Peter and Lorna successfully infiltrate the group, wearing microphones and cameras to gather evidence. Their initial skepticism is gradually challenged as they spend more time with Maggie, who appears to possess uncanny knowledge and exhibits a magnetism that captivates her followers.

As Peter and Lorna delve deeper, tensions rise between them as they struggle with their own beliefs and the authenticity of Maggie's story. Maggie's influence begins to sow doubts, making them question their own motives and each other's loyalty. The couple finds themselves entangled in a web of psychological manipulation and moral dilemmas. The deeper they go, the more they risk becoming a part of the very world they intended to expose, blurring the lines between reality, belief, and deception.
