As Masha settles her guest into a magnificent health and wellness property, her welcoming words seem to have a slightly chilling edge to them.
With her ice blonde hair flowing over her shoulders and dressed in white robes, Masha tells the group: “Welcome to Tranquillum House.
“You want to get well? You want to heal? Surrender yourself to me.”
She continues: “In 10 days you will be transformed.
“We are on the precipice of something great.”
