Lord of the Flies
At the dawn of the next World War, a plane crashes down on an charted island, stranding a group of schoolboys. At first, with no adult supervision, freedom is something to celebrate so far from civilization the boys can do anything they want. Anything. They attempt to forge their own society, failing, however, in the face of terror, sin and evil. And as order collapses, as strange howls echo in the night, as terror begins its reign, the hope of adventure seems as far from reality as the hope of being rescued.
