When Mike and Gill West-Eacott discovered that their daughter Alison was caught up in a religious cult, they feared she would be lost to them for ever. The Church of Christ is one of the fastest growing cults in the world and is alleged to use techniques of mind control to keep its members in its power. Eventually, the West-Eacotts were put in contact with a "cult-breaker" - a counsellor who specialises in persuading cult followers to return to normal life. Using hidden cameras, Everyman follows the attempt to get Alison to leave the Church of Christ and examines the techniques used by both cult and breaker.
