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.

"I’ve seen every scientology documentary and this is easily one of the worst ones. It’s pointless. Badly researched, the filmmaker is aloof and acts as though he only first heard of Scientology a few minutes before filming. I love the subject of cults and religious organizations and this documentary was completely pointless. "
