出自《萨布丽娜》的著名作者之手，尼克·德纳索的表演班创造了一幅断断续续、不信任和操纵的挂毯。 十个陌生人在约翰史密斯的指导下聚集在一起，约翰史密斯是一位神秘且道德上有问题的领袖。 这群不适应社会和不安分的搜索者有一个共同点：他们与周围环境格格不入，渴望改变。

Ten strangers are brought together under the tutelage of John Smith, a mysterious and morally questionable leader. The group of social misfits and restless searchers have one thing in common: they are out of step with their surroundings and desperate for change.

A husband and wife, four years into their marriage and simmering in boredom. A single mother, her young son showing disturbing signs of mental instability. A peculiar woman with few if any friends and only her menial job keeping her grounded. A figure model, comfortable in his body and ready for a creative challenge. A worried grandmother and her adult granddaughter; a hulking laborer and gym nut; a physical therapist; an ex-con.
