Spoilers ahead
On a routine flight across the South Pacific, radio commentator Mark Bradley Jeff Richards rides with his pilot, Tom Riley Joe Walker, toward a conference in Australia. When engine trouble forces an emergency landing, the duo comes down on the sandy shores of a small, uncharted island that is home to one man and his three sheltered daughters. The island’s owner, Dr. Paul Lujan Alan Napier, meets them with a sharp edge and blunt demand: the strangers must leave. Yet with one engine badly damaged, returning to civilization before repairs is impossible, and Lujan grants them a brief grace period—two days to fix the plane before they must depart.
