Fraternal twin brothers Phil Deedle Paul Walker and Stew Deedle Steve Van Wormer lead a sunlit, carefree life in Hawaii, living off the wealth their father Elton Deedle Eric Braeden has earned. On their eighteenth birthday, after a lazy surf session, they’re expelled for truancy, and their father decides to shake them out of their comfort zone by enrolling them in a survival boot camp in Yellowstone National Park. The plan is simple in theory, but it’s quickly complicated by the involvement of the former owner, Major Flower M.C. Gainey, who intends to run his own version of training, much to the boys’ horror. What begins as a game of mischief and ignorance soon spirals into a real test of grit and ingenuity.
