The film follows teenager Karma and her mother, who have spent their lives evading Karma’s cult leader father until he tracks them down to a remote forest compound and forces them through a series of psychological trials that he believes will awaken an unholy inheritance living inside his daughter.

Featuring in the cast of Waking Karma are Michael Madsen, Hannah Christine Shelter, Kimberly Alexander, and Bradley Fisher. Check out the trailer below…
