Three years after the staggering Sunday Hell, Oliver Stone discreetly returns to the forefront with his second documentary in less than a year. First, there was the excellent Comandante, dedicated to Fidel Castro; now there is Persona Non Grata, this time about Yasser Arafat. Once again, Stone poses as an informed observer of the state of the world. The director of JFK travels to occupied Palestine to try to untangle the threads of an explosive situation. As the title indicates, Arafat is missing. The expected filmed biography is in fact a fascinating portrait of the Palestinian leader. From the charismatic leader of Palestinian resistance, we will only see a very brief encounter with Western artists. It is therefore via the opposing party present that the contours of the crisis and the central role of Arafat in the middle of the powder keg emerge. First of all there are the Israeli leaders, Peres, Netanyahu and Barak. Through the fragmented interviews that Stone shows us, three personalities emerge: the wise Shimon, the butcher Benyamin and the clumsy Ehud. Three visions of the crisis, three visions of the world. Then there are the Hamas resistance fighters and the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade. And in the middle of all these little people, stands Oliver Stone, now mustachioed, as curious as ever, with unfortunately an Americanocentrism, which prevents him from really understanding the occupation and the hell experienced by the Palestinians for more than 70 years.

Oliver Stone's second documentary on/interview with Fidel Castro specifically addresses his country's recent crackdown on Cuban dissidents; namely, the execution of three men who hijacked a ferry to the United States.

With Harry newly accepted into the Wild Palms Group, Grace is visited by Hiro, a childhood friend from her years spent in Japan who is an enemy of Kreutzer. Meanwhile, Tommy escapes from prison and is reunited with Tully and the members of the Friends resistance. Eli soon joins them after making his own escape and reestablishes control over the group. Elsewhere, Coty not only becomes a child TV star but also, due to his ruthlessness, a high-ranking member of the Church of Synthiotics. Also, Chickie turns the tables on his captor, Chap, but ends up being tortured to the brink of death. Harry finally learns from Paige about her alliance with Kreutzer and that Coty is her biological son and Josie is actually Kreutzer's younger sister and chief enforcer and executioner. Kreutzer continues to try to get hold of the "Go chip" which supposedly will enable him to become a living hologram with unlimited power. Disgusted by his methods, his future wife Paige gives information to the Friends. Harry's therapist, Dr. Tobias Schenkl, is revealed to be on the payroll of Kreutzer. It is also revealed that Josie's only weakness is her former marriage to Eli Levitt, whom she is still in love. Aided by information from Paige, Eli and Tommy lead an armed raid on the motel room to rescue Chickie. Harry agrees to be a double-agent for both the Friends and the Fathers groups.

Set in the near-future of 2007, Harry Wyckoff is a successful patent attorney living in Beverly Hills who is on the brink of becoming a partner in the agency he works at. He has two children with his wife Grace, a perfect housewife and the owner of Hiroshima, a retro fashion boutique. Their children are 11-year-old child actor Coty, who has just been cast for a new "Channel 3" series, and the ever-mute 4-year-old Deirdre. Grace's mother is Josie Ito, a vain chic socialite and interior decorator of strong will and numerous shady connections. At night, Harry is plagued by strange dreams of a rhinoceros and a faceless woman who has palm tree tattooed on her body. One day, Harry is visited by a former lover of his college days, the alluring Paige Katz, who asks for his help in tracking down her son Peter, who disappeared five years earlier. Paige is closely associated with the "Wild Palms Group", a shady media organization headed by the charismatic Senator Tony Kreutzer, who is also the leader of the religious sect "Church of Synthiotics". Kreutzer's TV station "Channel 3" is about to start a new television format, "Church Windows", which creates a virtual reality on the basis of popular shows like sitcoms, using a new technique called "Mimecom". Due to conflict of interest, in which Harry's firm is going up against Wild Palms in court, their meetings raise suspicions and cost Harry his promotion. Afterwords, Harry quits and gladly accepts a job offered by Kreutzer as Wild Palms business consultant. Meanwhile, Grace soon becomes alienated by Harry's long hours at his new job and his past association with Paige. Grace visits her father Eli Levitt, a former history professor who is currently imprisoned for terrorism, and who is the founder of the "Friends" sect. In this politically and socially divided early 21st century society, a new right-wing political group, called the "Fathers", dominate large sections in politics and in the media. A libertarian movement, the "Friends", opposes the government, often making use of underground guerrilla tactics. Harry's best friend, Tommy Laszlo, takes him to meet Chickie Levitt, (who is Eli Levitt's son from another relationship), a virtual reality boy genius and technology wizard who warns Harry about the dangers of Wild Palms and it's media control. Also, Tully Woiwode, is an infamous and popular visual artist and toast-of-the-town (and Tommy Laszlo's secret lover) whose sister is abducted by men connected to Josie and her "Fathers" connections.

Harry officially defects from the Fathers and joins the Friends and enforces the videotaped broadcast of Grace's murder. The broadcast causes a social uproar; Synthiotics facilities and campaigning offices of Kreutzer, who is running for president, are attacked. Josie is arrested for the murder, but she soon makes bail and plots with Kreutzer to release an doctored videotape which shows Harry instead committing the murder. Meanwhile, Tully, distraught over the death of Tommy, betrays Eli to Josie who has him secretly murdered. Plagued with guilt, Tully then redeems himself by brutally killing Josie and then himself. Desperate to be reunited with his kidnapped daughter, Harry agrees to turn over the Go Chip to Kreutzer if he releases Deirdre. Kreutzer finally manages to get the Go Chip and has it implanted, but it was altered by Harry and Peter. Kreutzer reveals to Harry that he is his biological father, before he loses cohesion and dissolves into nothingness. Coty becomes the new leader of the Fathers, while Harry, Paige, Peter and Dierdre escape the chaos and rioting by fleeing from Los Angeles for parts unknown, although Harry knows he must go back and lead the Friends against their enemies in the continuing civil war between the groups.
