Touto knihou daly autorky vzniknout románu na hranici krajní originality. Příběh začíná koncem listopadu 1998, kdy se jistá australská rodina, že zachrání svou dceru Ruth, která se stala terčem zájmu indického guru. Zdrcená a vyděšená rodina uposlechne rady investovat značnou finanční částku do služeb amerického specialisty na sekty, Johna Waterse. „Tři malé krůčky,“ říká poté, co se podíval Ruth do očí a označil je za odhodlané… „do čtyřiadvaceti hodin by mohlo být po všem.“ o dva dny později, uprostřed australské buše, dochází k pomalému posunu v rozložení sil mezi psychologem a jeho klientkou. Slíbený návrat k pořádku umožňuje cestu k nádhernému chaosu. Střídavě máme možnost naslouchat hlasu Johna Waterse i Ruth a vyslechnout tak oba názory na proces „deprogramování“. To, co začíná jako duchovní bitva o podstatu víry, se mění v erotický a burácející příběh sexuální posedlosti, která dožene Johna i Ruth až do vztahu, jaký ani jeden z nich nechtěl.
