The film starts out with a futuristic Nomad from the year 3069 who accidentally discovers the book "[[Helter Skelter (Manson scenario)|Helter Skelter]]" while searching for food in a desert on the former site of [[Los Angeles]]. He mistakes the book as the Bible and reads it as if Charles Hanson (most of the character names are derived from real people involved with the Manson murders, with their names altered by changing a letter into an 'H') is the messiah. As he reads, we flash back to 1969 where Susan Hatkins meets Charlie during a bad LSD trip.
