Summary
This documentary follows a group of young adult dancers and social media influencers with large TikTok and Instagram followings who unwittingly become part of a cult led by Robert Shinn. This cult extended to Shinn's church, Shekinah Church, in Los Angeles, California. Concerned parents race against time to uncover the truth behind the 7M Cult and rescue their children before it's too late. Sisters Melanie and Priscylla Lee, who were effectively orphaned as children and taken in by Shekinah, only to be abused for decades, are also featured. They file a lawsuit against Shinn and Shekinah for damages for theirs and others' years of abuse.
