In the movie Wanderlust, Linda and George, a couple living in New York, face financial difficulties when Linda's documentary about penguins is rejected by HBO and George loses his job. 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.
