The program reveals the science of contortion and profiles the performers who've made their livelihood twisting their bodies in amazing ways. Viewers meet Undarma, the only contortionist to have her own Las Vegas show; Lars Houga, a German performer who feels that sexuality is an intricate part of his art; Daniel Brown, who performs with Jim Rose's Circus sideshow; and a young girl named Sonya, who's just beginning her training as a contortionist. The program also features interviews with doctors and experts who reveal the special medical problems the art of contortionism sometimes causes.
