  • Summary

  • Meg Everman (Judy Greer) has spent her entire life putting herself second to everyone around her - and she’s over it. Pushed over the edge by her mother’s (Jane Lynch) unexpected passing, Meg scores a coveted invite to a weekend wellness retreat hosted by SLF-CNTR, an online lifestyle brand Meg’s not sure if she loves... or loves to hate. Leaving her ego-centric husband and daughter (Andy Richter and Hari Nef) behind, Meg and her new friend Shruti (Aparna Nancherla) head out for a weekend of rejuvenation and relaxation at the palatial, Ojai estate of SLF-CNTR’s charismatic founder, Enid Hargrove (Kim Cattrall). But Meg and the other retreat guests soon learn that everything is not as it seems, and eerie clues begin to hint that Enid’s health and beauty secrets are anything but natural.“Self-care,” under Enid’s direction, quickly starts to look a lot like torture, and if Meg wants to get out of her “restorative weekend” alive, she’ll have to confront the personal demons she’s long ignored... and some other demons she may be surprised to learn are all too real.

Weird, humorous, but contradictory

A cutting satire of online wellness cults, which undermines itself by allowing its protagonist to learn and grow from the bloodsucking cult which the story is critiquing.

Very entertaining

I was skeptical at first but the story worked out well even if far fetched. It was however fantastically read and a great listen.

great fun- dark comedy about the wellness industry

Meg is our everywoman who ends up at a wellness retreat from hell, it is a fun dark comedy that satrises the ridiculousness of the industry. I particularly enjoyed Kim Catrell as the Gwyneth Paltrow-type centre of the comedy, Enid
