Five women leaving high demand religions (Mormon, Jehovah Witness, Orthodox Hasidic Jew, Muslim, Scientologist) become unlikely allies at a support group for people who are deconverting as they help each other learn to do normal societal things and shed the layers of indoctrination.

SYNOPSIS:

How old were you when you had your first drink? Your first BLT? Your first birthday party? I bet you weren’t 35. This series is like the female tv comedy version of "40 Year Old Virgin" mixed with the real life drama of shows like "Parenthood". With every aspect of their lives being stunted by orthodoxy, the women must learn how to buy underwear, make friends, eat meat, drink alcohol, get an education, accept science, celebrate birthdays and holidays, accept homosexuality, etc. They have to face the possibility of death without a magic paradise guarantee on the other side. They learn the parts of their female anatomy that were forbidden to be discovered (OMG they have their first orgasm). They have to reevaluate their beliefs around politics and social issues. All of this while trying to explain to their orthodox friends and family why they would give up an eternity with the true God for the “sins of the world”.

Tears are shed and laughter ensues as these women realize that they spent 1/2 their lives living an alternate reality. As middle ages women, they now get to have experiences of the typical American teenager while also dealing with mixed faith marriages, divorce, sexual orientation, and grief.

Throughout the series, the women transform from shy, timid, soft spoken “righteous” women, to the new "Sex-and-the-City" band of friends full of confidence and opinions. In this way, each episode highlights an act or thought of normalcy that the women must explore while the series has an over arching theme of growth.

The largest growing religion in the US is no religion and the growing interest into the lives of religious people can be seen in shows like, “Sister Wives”, “Escaping Polygamy”, “Leah Remini’s Aftermath”, “19 Kids and Counting”, “Counting On”, etc. The industry is missing a great opportunity to feature the bond that apostates have regardless of the faith that they leave. . The complications and growth that happen from leaving a high demand religion can fill this series for years to come, especially where this show highlights women who left their perspective religions as adults and after a lifetime of devotion.

This show is not about degrading or attacking the religions featured, while some of the hurtful aspects must be highlighted as part of the story. This shows about strength to rise up when your community abandon’s you.
