At Camp Tamakwa in 1972, a group of children embark on an adventure with their camp owner, Unca Lou Handler, encountering a moose in the wilderness. Fast forward to September 1992, and these former campers are making their nostalgic return to the island for a fall reunion after the summer season. Upon arrival, they are warmly welcomed by Unca Lou, who has taken the initiative to invite them back.
