Plot summary

On a trip to India, Australian beauty Ruth Barron has a spiritual awakening and embraces the teachings of a guru named Baba. Back home in Sydney, Ruth's mother and father are appalled to learn that their daughter now answers to the name Nazni and has no intention of returning. Mother visits her daughter in India in hopes of convincing her to come home, but it is not until she suffers an asthma attack that Ruth agrees to return home for a visit.

Mother pretends to arrange a meeting with Ruth's father, who has been ill, and this trick lands her in the clutches of P.J. Waters, an American exit counselor who deprograms members of religious cults. Waters begins to loosen Ruth's beliefs in Baba's techings, but P.J. finds himself sexually attracted to Ruth, and in time she allows him to seduce her. Ruth soon turns to tables on P.J., as she discovers that sexuality allows her to make mincemeat of his long-held beliefs as a macho, misogynist male.
