Description

When a group of Nexus executives brings their wives to the South Pacific
paradise of Paui, vacation is not on their minds. Having found rare
minerals on the island, they are determined to strike a swift deal for
mining rights. But in their greedy rush to claim the prize, the men fail to
take into account a rapacious general, who takes control of the island in a
military coup and brutally executes all of them. Returning from a sail in
time to see the massacre, the women escape into the jungle, where they
painfully learn survival tricks from the ship's captain. His subsequent
death leaves the once shy Annie in charge of the rest: Silvana, a wealthy,
distant matron; the athletic, high-strung Patty; outspoken Carey; and Suzy,
a sensuous, spoiled child. Although misfortune rains down on the group,
opportunity also has a way of magically appearing as these castaways battle
jungle, cannibalistic natives and their own frightening desires with a
gritty determination that belies their pampered pasts.
