STORY AND SCREENPLAY BY

SUMMARY

INSPIRED BY A TRUE STORY

Unorthodox" is a gripping tale of teenage rebellion and religious extremism that will keep audiences on the edge of their seats. The story follows Madison, a budding 14-year-old influencer, who lives in a secluded farmhouse in the middle of flat farmland, under the constant scrutiny of her devoutly religious mother, Faith.

As Madison struggles with the angst and defiance of adolescence, she turns to the internet for escape and starts a secret live-stream channel, revealing her mother's bizarre and oppressive religious lifestyle to the world. With minimal interaction to the outside world, Madison desperately seeks connection and understanding, but as her mother's behavior becomes increasingly erratic, her aunt's Grace and Hope intervene, leading to a fight for her life and freedom.

In an astounding climax,, Faith is persuaded to take drastic action and the three perform a grueling exorcism on Madison, live, over the internet.
