Forced to sell their expensive Manhattan apartment at a loss, they decide to relocate to Atlanta where George's brother offers him a job in his company.

On their way to Atlanta, they stop at a hotel called Elysium for the night. However, they soon discover that Elysium is a hippie and vegan community. Despite their initial intention to move on, the couple is persuaded to stay with the community for a two-week trial.

Linda quickly adapts to the laid-back and alternative lifestyle of the Elysium residents and befriends them. On the other hand, George struggles to fit in and clashes with the community's rules and ideals.
