an overextended, stressed out Manhattan couple. After George is downsized out of
his job, they find themselves with only one option: to move in with George's
awful brother in Atlanta. On the way there, George and Linda stumble upon
Elysium, an idyllic community populated by colorful characters who embrace a
different way of looking at things. Money? It can't buy happiness. Careers? Who
needs them? Clothes? Only if you want them. Is Elysium the fresh start <SPAN
