Summary *Coarse Language and Sex References*Australian comedian Judith Lucy grew up so heavily Catholic that she wanted to become a nun. By the time she left school, she was a committed atheist. Now she's convinced there must be something in between those two extremes... she just doesn't have a clue what it is. Join her on her quest to discover something to believe in.She'll poke and prod religions and their alternatives and explore what's on offer for the spiritually curious. Along the way, she'll relive, in flashbacks, some of the hilarious, bizarre and profound spiritual moments, and hairstyles, that have shaped who she is today. From outback odysseys to new age healing rituals, rebel churches and silent meditation retreats, re birthing in a bathtub to yoga on the Ganges, Judith will try just about anything including a Tantric massage, to discover if there's something spiritual that floats her boat. Judith kicks off the series where her own spiritual journey began, reliving her baptism and introducing us to her parents, Ann and Tony Lucy (Andrea Powell and Colin Lane). She talks to parish priest and Catholic thinker Gerald Gleeson to try and find out how binding the contract was when her parents signed her up with God.Wondering how different her life might be today had she done what she wanted to at age 12 and become a nun, Judith spends time with a nun her own age, Sister Rebecca McCabe and her fellow Sisters of Mercy, and the experience is not what she expects.
