Americaville is an eerie disclosure of the Chinese replica city of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where citizens escape to embrace the American dream. Each weekend, Beijing residents like Annie Liu travel to the hills outside the city to enjoy fresh air, a big house, and classic "American" activities: morning walks on Route 66, Jell-O potlucks, and visits from the town sheriff on horseback. However, Annie soon finds that the longer she stays, the more the sheen of the lifestyle sold to her begins to fade.
