This is a story about twin sisters who were actors when they were children. One became an addict and the other joined a cult and kidnapped a baby. Elli, the one who joined a cult, had gotten a divorce. Her husband divorced her because she changed. She joined the cult. She had infertility issues, so, she stole someone else’s child and then went to a “retreat” for two weeks, leaving her parents and twin sister to care for the child.

Crazy story. The narrators did a phenomenal job. They helped made the story come alive. I enjoyed their performances. Some of the words were pronounced weirdly, but I still enjoyed the performances. Great job! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
