Chris, a college stoner, starts a show with his best bud Dougie examining famous cults. As a joke, they invent their own: the Sacred Order of Chris, where enlightenment is achieved through “the Divine Chill,” aka smoking weed and listening to music. As the show goes unexpectedly viral and listeners start treating the jokes as gospel, Chris rides the wave of ironic fame until it grows into a real life movement with disastrous consequences.
