False Idol

She came to Los Angeles for redemption. She found a religion of lies.Six months ago, Nadine Singh stood on London's Tower Bridge and made a choice: she would stop trading pieces of her humanity for justice. Burnt out from a life of violence and haunted by the voice of her mentor, Sister Anita, she fled to Los Angeles to reinvent herself. No more killing. No more shadows. Just a clean slate in the city of dreams.Desperate to fill the spiritual void inside her, Nadine is drawn to "Spiritology"-a movement that promises an exact methodology for happiness and a bridge between spiritual aspiration and psychological reality. For a woman running from a dark past, it feels like the answer she's been praying for.But as Nadine delves deeper into the organization's inner circle, the shiny veneer of self-improvement begins to crack. She realizes that the "salvation" being sold comes at a terrible price, and the charismatic figure leading the flock is not a shepherd, but a wolf in sheep's clothing.Nadine wanted to bury the monster inside her. But to destroy a false idol and survive the cult's deadly grip, she may have to let the monster out one last time.Beware of those who speak of freedom but deal in slavery.
