After her mother dies, Naomi, the studious daughter of a prominent orthodox rabbi, begs to postpone her expected marriage for a year so she can study at a women's religious seminary. Once there, she and her new friend, Michelle, a free-spirited and headstrong student, explore the complexities of a religious lifestyle in a vibrant environment of rebellion and desire as they befriend a mysterious, ailing, older woman, Anouk. In the hopes of easing her suffering, Naomi and Michelle secretly lead her through a forbidden series of Kabalistic cleansing rituals.
