A singular portrait depicting Satanists in both the everyday and the extraordinary. A  gaze at a closed world of occult rituals and black magic as Satan's disciples open their doors and happily invite us into their weird and wonderful world, experiencing both daily laundry, gardening to latex sex orgies and other stylish activities.

“A big part of being a Satanist is to have style,” declares one of the Church of Satan’s disciples against a lavishly decorated backdrop of occult paraphernalia, cunningly underlining the community’s obsession with aesthetics. An obsession director Scott Cummings (also known as the fabulous editor of indie gems such as Never Rarely Sometimes Always, Monsters and Men, Menashe, and Wendy) savvily exploits by giving these colourful and largely affluent, characters every opportunity to freely express themselves in a collaborative series of meticulously staged tableaux.
