Negli anni ’80, il tranquillo paese di Antelope, Oregon, viene travolto dal “popolo arancione”, i seguaci di Osho, guru spirituale e uomo d’affari. Acquistano il Big Muddy Ranch e fondano Rajneeshpuram, una comune utopica che cresce rapidamente fino a trasformarsi in una vera città. Ma l’ambizione della setta non si ferma lì: sotto la guida della spietata Ma Anand Sheela, puntano a conquistare Antelope manipolando le elezioni locali, trasferendo senzatetto per aumentare il numero di elettori.
Quando questo non basta, ricorrono al bioterrorismo: nel 1984 contaminano con la salmonella ristoranti e supermercati di The Dalles, provocando centinaia di avvelenamenti per sabotare le elezioni della Contea di Wasco. Il piano fallisce, emergono prove schiaccianti e il governo interviene. Osho scarica Sheela, che fugge, mentre la comune si sgretola. Antelope riacquista la sua identità, chiudendo uno dei capitoli più oscuri della storia americana.
