When a celebrated NYC journalist’s life crashes and burns, she becomes infatuated with a “celebrity guru,“ which takes her on a wild psychedelic journey of love, light and grand larceny.
Running from her dark past, Parker Schafer, NYC’s ‘It’ girl hits rock bottom. Her longtime boyfriend dumps her and returns to his ex-wife. In a drug fueled downward spiral, she blows up her career and reputation in a spectacular act of elaborate self-sabotage, giving her best friend and boss no choice but to fire her.
With nothing to lose, Parker reluctantly tries a remote wellness retreat with the famed Guru Shuroo.
Over three days, a diverse group of unlikely characters are brought together through Shuroo’s process: digital detox, meditation, gas lighting, mescaline trips… fraud!
However, the spell soon lifts and Parker uncovers a menacing story that will expose Shuroo. The scoop could put her back on top! But will she find redemption?
THE SHUROO PROCESS explores the dangers of the cultish self-help industry and what it is like to fall prey to its promises of transformation.
