Seduced: Inside the NXIVM Cult

India Oxenberg, the 28-year-old daughter of actress Catherine Oxenberg, speaks out for the first time about her involvement in NXIVM and how she became a “branded sex slave.” Lured in by celebrity-studded introductory workshops promising business skills and personal breakthroughs, India began a seven-year journey through hell. She is joined by a chorus of other young women whose stories parallel her own. The first episode explores the cult's initial allure and foreshadows the darkness and abuses to come.

The NXIVM curriculum gradually transforms India into a true believer. When actress Allison Mack approaches her about an elite, secret society of women, India hands over damaging personal “collateral” to join, not grasping that she is signing over her freedom and falling deeper into the clutches of the cult leader, manipulative sexual predator Keith Raniere.

In the Albany suburb of Clifton Park, home to NXIVM's insular inner circle and location of the cult's darkest crimes and abuses, India, as a member of the secret slave master group known as DOS, is subjected to forced starvation, sleep deprivation, emotional abuse, physical punishments, separation from family, repeated sexual assault, and being branded without anesthesia.

Catherine begins the fight of her life to expose the cult and rescue her daughter. India, an indoctrinated slave master for Keith Raniere, becomes a potential co-conspirator when Raniere is charged with a battery of crimes. The final episode follows India's painful awakening to Raniere's decades-long history of terror and abuse. Ultimately India provides critical evidence to prosecutors and speaks out against him and his crimes.
