The investigators are tasked with finding out if the young man, who is being held under the care of his parents and a doctor, is truly possessed. Alternatively, they must consider whether he has merely been indoctrinated by a New Age cult.

The Demon of Cults is a programme delivered as a single episode, classed within the broader genre of television drama. It presents a self‑contained story that centres on a specific investigative team and a perplexing case they must resolve. The format is straightforward, offering viewers a compact narrative that unfolds over the course of the episode. In the core of the story, the team is tasked with deciding whether a young man, who is being held under the care of his parents and a doctor, is truly possessed or merely the product of brainwashing by a New Age cult. The young man’s confinement creates a tense backdrop, while the involvement of both his family and a medical professional adds layers of authority and concern to the situation. The investigators must navigate the delicate balance between supernatural suspicion and psychological manipulation. Their inquiry hinges on discerning signs of genuine possession from the subtle influences that a modern cult might exert over a vulnerable individual. This dilemma forces them to weigh medical assessments against the possibility of ideological coercion, all while respecting the wishes of the parents and the doctor who have kept the young man isolated. Ultimately, the episode revolves around that pivotal question: is the young man’s behaviour the result of an otherworldly force, or is it the outcome of deliberate indoctrination by a contemporary cult? The team’s conclusion will determine how they proceed, highlighting the thin line between spiritual belief and mental conditioning.
