Opening narration

Religious devotion can lead people away from temptation and evil, but is the path as clear if that devotion is blind?

Plot

A young man named Daniel has grown tired of the rat race and decides to embrace a more spiritual and simple life. With his girlfriend Beth and his best friend Thomas, he joins an order led by a seemingly benevolent preacher, whom leads them to a secluded village away from the temptations of the outer world.

Later, Daniel begins to suspect the preacher's motives, and eventually discovers that he and the others are really abductees on an alien ship destined for slavery.

Closing narration

When you blindly give up your free will to a higher authority, be sure you are not also giving up control of your ultimate destiny.
