They are pursued by the local sheriff (Bruce Willis) and the scout troop leader Scout Master Ward (Edward Norton).The follies of youth are matched by the compromises of age; and as the conflict between the generations escalates; the hurricane breaks upon the island putting all the characters at risk...
