A group of broken souls attend a self-help seminar at a remote wooded retreat with a famous guru. In search of better lives, they must confront their deepest demons in the midst of their fellow wayward strangers. As they get pushed further and further by the program, they begin to confront their personal problems. But as their group therapy sessions become increasingly volatile - including lie detectors, fire arms, and experimental drugs - they begin to question the methods in spite of the results. What is their guru's real goal, and will his reckless pursuit of life change moments end up saving them...or destroying them?
The basic premise of SUBS is as banal as it is revealing. A wealthy man looking for a new housekeeper for his luxurious villa, places a wanted ad online saying "slave required". It is a rich man's joke. A cynical joke, but in the end a joke which brings Bartos and his young wife LANA into their home, changing CLAUS and EVI MüLLER-TODT's lives forever. Events unfold and the couple, who have up to now been living a life of carefree prosperity, are forced to draw a line in the sand and show their true colours. With fatal consequences.
