2024: Healer, liar or killer?
What you need to know before your trail
Meet Hollie Jenson, presenter of the smash-hit docu-series Bad Medicine, which exposes the perils of extreme therapies. Her next target: a new retreat run by wellness guru Ariel Rose, who claims to have discovered the secret to healing pain through her three-day ice rebirth treatment.
Acting on a mother’s plea to find her son, who vanished soon after his stay, Hollie ventures into the Swiss mountains where the retreat occupies a former observatory. There she will search for the boy, and hopes to expose Ariel as the charlatan she believes her to be.
As the isolation of the valley sets in, Hollie finds herself in an increasingly dangerous situation. There is much more to the retreat than meets the eye, and she must confront explosive secrets from her own past if she is to ever make it out alive . .
Travel Guide
The Ice Retreat – Lauterbrunnen
The Ice retreat is in the middle of the Lauterbrunnen mountains. Fictional but very believable. Just the place you could imagine actually existing.
You go here to heal. The scenery is stunning. The weather is cold but beautiful. This is the ideal place to get away from it all. However, in this retreat, you might get away from it all but you might stay there and never leave.
You arrive on a road where no other car seems to exist. You drive for miles without seeing a soul. Even the local radio station is now barely a scratch on the airwaves. “A thick expanse of white as far as the eye can see.”
