'After a workplace indiscretion shatters his elite physiotherapy career, Ard Panicker ends up working at a metaphysical health spa giving Ayurvedic rubdowns to yummy mummies in Bondi.
'When he receives word that his estranged father has died, Ard’s world is thrown into turmoil. He begins to shake and shudder with mysterious full-body seizures—accompanied with waking visions of a terrifying, all-powerful deity.
'Desperate to find a cure for his phantasmagorical condition, Ard travels to the village in South India where his father was born.
'Instead, he finds an enlightened tantric guru who cracks open his sense of identity, sexuality and his grip on reality.'
