Bali's envious tropical location and gorgeous beaches have made it a mecca for tourists and partiers, but it is also a very spiritual place. Located at the bottom of Indonesia, Bali is part of the largest Muslim Nation in the world, yet the Balinese have been Hindus as far back at the 11th century when they came into contact with Indian traders. They have a unique take on the ancient religion that incorporates their own environment and experiences. Damon explores this tropical paradise, observing how the local people have borrowed from the consumer culture of the west, while still nurturing their own traditions. He meets priests and prophets, attends weddings and funerals, and gets assaulted by local monkeys in his journey across this famous and magical island. He finds a beautiful, energetic, fun loving people who are taking the future in both hands without losing sight of their past.
