Ted Levine, Mel Rodriguez, Kirsten Dunst, Théodore Pellerin, Beth DittoKrystal Gill (Kirsten Dunst) ist eine kleine Angestellte in einem Freizeitpark in der Nähe von Orlando, im US-Bundesstaat Florida in den frühen 1990ern. Obwohl dessen Betreiberfirma Founders American Merchandise mit ihrem Schneeballsystem dafür verantwortlich ist, das Krystals Familie einst in den Ruin ging, ist sie unnachgiebig dabei, hier selbst Karriere zu machen – auch wenn sie dabei nun zu denen gehört, die die verlorenen Seelen, die durch Beteiligung an der Firma Bestätigung und finanzielle Sicherheit suchen, ausbeuten.
On Becoming a God in Central Florida follows Krystal Stubbs, a minimum-wage water park employee who lies, schemes and cons her way up the ranks of Founders American Merchandise (FAM) — the cultish, flag-waving, multibillion-dollar pyramid scheme that drove her to ruin in the first place, run by the powerful Obie Garbeau II. Determined to make a better life for herself, Krystal dives deep into FAM and develops a tangled relationship with FAM's most loyal and fanatical follower Cody, until her business begins to affect those closest to her, including Ernie, her affable water park boss, and his FAM-skeptic wife Bets.
