After years of hard, honest work you retire and move to a picturesque town in Oregon called Antelope, population 50 - all there, like you, to enjoy their twilight years in the majestic landscape, unperturbed by the outside world.

Then one day some goddamn freaky, hippie-looking types dressed in red and orange tracksuits start appearing on the streets in increasing numbers and then all of a sudden they're everywhere...
