The summer of 1976 in Honolulu, Hawaii is coming to a close and all the parties, surfing, and fun will end for Amy and her friends along with it. After the town's annual end-of-the-summer dance, the shy 17 year old let's her date coerce her and her friends into getting on a boat and celebrating. Reluctant, because of the bad weather, she obliges. Obviously, that was a mistake because one moment she is helping herself to a drink and a deep conversation, and the next she finds herself underwater in the churning stormy waters of the Pacific Ocean, struggling to get to the surface. When she wakes up on an island, she finds herself wishing she hadn't woken up at all.
