A wide-open road... A warm, dusty breeze... And a girl who can't say no. For country girl Bree Olsen and friends, living out the American dream means a never-ending highway of erotic encounters. Their sweet thighs spread out like one long, lazy summer afternoon after another. It's a place where time slows down, where sex smells of fresh-cut hay, and desire stretches as far as the eye can see. Anything can happen on Sunshine Highway.

Roughly chronological, from 3/96 to 11/96, with a coda in spring of 1997: inside compounds of Aum Shinrikyo, a Buddhist sect led by Shoko Asahara. (Members confessed to a murderous sarin attack in the Tokyo subway in 1995.) We see what they eat, where they sleep, and how they respond to media scrutiny, on-going trials, the shrinking of their fortunes, and the criticism of society. Central focus is placed on Hiroshi Araki, a young man who finds himself elevated to chief spokesman for Aum after its leaders are arrested. Araki faces extreme hostility from the Japanese public, who find it hard to believe that most followers of the cult had no idea of the attacks and even harder to understand why these followers remain devoted to the religion, if not the violence.
