Synopsis

A water-skiing outing leaves a group of teenagers on an island controlled by a scientist with a secret laboratory. Her experiments aim to turn people into obedient subjects, and the visitors become convenient new specimens. Escaping the island means learning who can be trusted when even outside help may be part of the scheme.
