In the film's narrative, the Reverend James Johnson moves his San Francisco congregation of 1000 to Guyana so they can create a utopia in a new "Johnsontown" commune, untainted by the corruption of the civilized world.

These harsh realities gradually become known to the outside world when a congressman and a team of reporters go there to investigate allegations of criminal behavior.
