Summary
On a river deep in the Mexican jungle stands the colossal villa Xanadu, a wellness center that's home to an ardent spiritual group devoted to self-help guru Paul Bentzen and his enigmatic wife, Kali. But when Paul mysteriously dies, his entire estate--including Xanadu--is left not to Kali, but to his estranged niece, Sveta. Shocked and confused, Sveta travels from New York City to Mexico to pay her respects and finalize her uncles will. At first, Xanadu seems like a secluded paradise, with its beautiful people, and transcendent vibe. But soon the mystical facade wears thin, revealing a fanatical group drunk on the promises of an impossible utopia, guided by a disturbing belief system and a charismatic, dangerously capable leader
