A pair of young lovers flee their New England town, sparking a frenzied search by the town's quirky inhabitants.

In the summer of 1965, on an island off the coast of New England, twelve-year-olds Sam (Jared Gilman) and Suzy (Kara Hayward) fall in love, make a secret pact, and run away together into the wilderness. As various authorities (Bruce Willis, Edward Norton, Bill Murray, Tilda Swinton) try to hunt them down, a violent storm is brewing off-shore—and the peaceful island community is turned upside down in more ways than anyone can handle.
