- Ross Bassett and his wife abandon their life in the suburbs of Perth and head to London.
- The seventies are in full swing. Marriage is not what it used to be. Ross and June experiment as their Twickenham household plays musical beds.
- Out of left field, they are introduced to a new phenomenon: Meditation. In a converted factory, the Cricklewood Centre attracts disaffected youth seeking meaning in their lives. Having abandoned existentialism, Ross is plunged into a spiritual search.
- A trip to Paris leads to a surprise epiphany. Upon their return, the couple sign up with Transcendental Tours and take the hippy trail to India.
- At an Indian ashram, Ross finds his guru and the fulfilment he has been seeking.
- Amid work, dance, and group therapy, a brief period of celibacy gives way to a sexual smorgasbord.
- In time, the bliss evaporates. Ross is obliged to confront the reality of the guru experience and issues he can no longer ignore.
