With a loose inspirational take-off in William Golding's 'Lord of the Flies', this youth melodrama has a group of summer camp kids, left to their own devices when their teachers stage a strike, go on a rampage of stealing and looting. A stolen boat brings them to an uninhabited island. When their boat drifts away, the kids are helpless on their own. Filmed with amateurs and improvised dialogue.
