Hoyt Richards, at 16 years old, meets an enigmatic Manhattan socialite on a Nantucket beach and is pulled into his spiritual group, Eternal Values.

This three-part documentary chronicles the life of Hoyt Richards — one of the first male supermodels — and his involvement with the cultlike group Eternal Values and its larger-than-life leader, Frederick von Mierers. Leveraging the glamorous world of 1980s New York, the group and von Mieres exploited young models and professionals, seducing them with a New Age mix of metaphysical teachings.
