1986. Jack lives on the site of
his abandoned island commune with his 16-year-old
daughter Rose. Since the breakup of the commune,
Jack has sheltered Rose completely from the influences
of the outside world, but now his fatal illness
and Rose’s emerging womanhood pose troubling
questions about the days ahead. A man who has lived
a life motivated by environmentalism, Jack now rages
at those who do not share his aesthetic, like developer
Marty Rance, who is building a housing tract on
the edge of his property. When Jack invites his
girlfriend Kathleen and her sons Rodney and Thaddius
to live with them, Rose feels betrayed and the situation
quickly becomes precarious. Rose acts out wildly,
creating chaos. As everything flies out of control,
Jack finds himself trapped in an impossible place
and is forced to take action.
