But their plane malfunctions and they are forced to land on an unfamiliar island. They are rescued by an initially kindly elderly farmer and his wife who live a puritanical, 1920s-era lifestyle. But they have three very disturbed (adult) children. After a horrific development, Cynthia, although increasingly deranged, endeavours to kill the family. (Synopsis)
