Hawaii, 1977: Vic and Melvin are dropped off by their older brother in a rural Hawaii forest with an undisclosed task that no one seems enthusiastic about. As their brother’s pickup rumbles away leaving them utterly alone, they reluctantly begin their trek with an unopened pack and a shovel. Along the way they discuss the possibility of living in the wild, that is until the wild suddenly pays them a visit. Eventually, they reach their destination and carry out the unpleasant task they were sent to do. With the deed now behind them, it seems there are now more questions than answers and the boys sense that what they’ve experienced may haunt them for a long time to come.
