Summary
At the end of an intense season, Shane feels burnt out and overwhelmed by his feelings. When he signs up for an elite wellness retreat hosted by The Collective, his family and friends are relieved that he’s finally taking care of himself.
Everyone except Ilya.
The deeper Shane gets into the program and the happier he says he is, the more concerned Ilya becomes that he’s in danger. But no one else believes him.
By the time Shane realizes that The Collective isn’t actually designed to heal him, he’s isolated himself from everyone in his life and is at the mercy of the charismatic leader.
But Ilya has spent his whole adult life finding Shane despite all the odds, and he’s not about to stop now.
Or: Shane has a tuna meltdown and accidentally joins a cult.
