From the makers of Mia Blonde: the Ice Dagger, Top Town and Butch Flaccidy and the Fundance Kidz, comes a hilarious new comedy dance show about a plucky journo and a bowl-cut-loving cult nestled somewhere in a non-specific corner of the Coromandel. 

Weird rituals? You bet. 
Hypnotic dancing? Of course. 
A wonderfully silly hour of laughs? Always. 

Investigative journalist, Davina Cobb, is riding the wave of popularity as her online newsletter “The Cobb Web” takes the internet by storm. She’s hungry for the next big exposé and has set her sights on the highly secretive religious community known as “The Children”. Posing as a lost vagrant, disillusioned with the demands of society, Davina infiltrates the community and aligns herself with the charismatic leader and self-appointed guru, Giving Lover. Will Davina have the scoop of the century? Will the cult-members cotton onto her true identity? Or will Davina become inveigled into a mind-blowing conspiracy that will redefine life as we know it?
