The adults search for the missing children. Sam's Khaki scout leader, played by Edward Norton, sends the other scout members to find the young couple. Suzy's parents, played by Bill Murray and Frances McDormand ask the help of the island sheriff, played by Bruce Willis. A tremendous storm brewing on the horizon threatens not only the solitude of the lovebirds but the safety of the entire island community.
The danger increases when the Khaki scouts find the runaways and one scout member is injured. With the sky darkening and strong winds coming in from the choppy seas, the islanders know they must find the children before the weather gets any worse.
Sam and Suzy finally set up camp in a small beach hollow where they spend precious moments together, but the innocence is broken when they are finally found. Sam is placed with his caseworker, played by Tilda Swinton, his fate uncertain. Suzy will return with her parents. Ironically, the dangerous storm brings the islanders together and they are forced to deal with their issues.
Although it is a simple tale of first love, it has complex underlying themes. Chaotic adult lifestyles clash in comparison with those of the carefree children. Many secrets come to light including clandestine affairs, failed marriages and loss of innocence. From what seemed to be merely a fling, Sam and Suzy's young love molds into a timeless beauty.
