Set in a small town in the summer of 1965, the film tells the story of first love and a magical summer. After two 12 year-old children fall in love with each other, make a secret pact and run away together into the wilderness, various authorities try to hunt them down while a violent storm is brewing off-shore. The peaceful island community is turned upside down in more ways than anyone can handle.
