The Vow

After being apprehended in Mexico, Keith Raniere and his inner circle await trial. While prosecutor Moira Penza and defense attorney Marc Agnifilo prep their cases, Nicki Clyne and Michele Hatchette begin their own defense of DOS and Keith, giving their perspective on NXIVM. Keith’s co-defendants flip – including NXIVM co-founder Nancy Salzman, who sits for an interview.

On house arrest, Nancy tells how Keith recruited her – persuading her that together they could achieve her long-time goal of helping people create lasting personal growth. From that pitch, NXIVM was born. At the trial, the prosecution calls "Sylvie" as its first witness, and Mark Vicente takes the stand.

After a family moved from Mexico to Albany to pursue the NXIVM lifestyle, all three daughters were groomed by Keith. On the stand, middle daughter "Dani" details the coercive abuse she endured, including being isolated in a room for two years with Lauren as her guard.

After Keith's abuses of Dani's sister "Cami" are detailed through disturbing text messages, Keith's trial ends with a guilty verdict. As NXIVM's critics rejoice, Keith's remaining supporters regroup. After "Cami" and others give victim impact statements, Keith is sentenced to 120 years. Following the trial, Nancy examines her role as she awaits her own sentencing.
