A hurricane forecast to bypass Hawaii makes an unexpected turn and roars down on the island of Kauai. Josh Ladd and friend Tank are caught off guard on the beach.  Josh’s father and Dr. Nakamura have no warning while they explore a swamp without communications or shelter. Josh’s mother, sister and brother are at a friend’s house, but the winds are so fierce that it seems about to be destroyed.

A helicopter pilot rescues Josh and Tank, then makes a short flight over the swamp in a vain effort to locate Josh’s father and his friend. The chopper crash lands, forcing the occupants to frantically search for shelter. How can any of them survive?
