Mike (Mark Metcalf) leads a forest ranger program that works with troubled young men. He brings his charges-including creepy military obsessed Zorich (John Friedrich), greaseball Gerone (Adrian Zmed), local Boone (Lewis Smith), and Hines (Ernest Harden Jr.)-deep in to the wilderness to make sure that the streams aren’t being dammed up by debris. Their bus driver, high strung Eggar ( Joe Pantoliano), who does not get along with the group and does not want to take them up there. He warns Mike against bringing along his girlfriend Melanie (Cindy Harrell) and her friends Margaret (Rachel Ward), Windy (Daryl Hannah), and Vanessa (Akosua Busia) on what is ostensibly a working expedition but Mike ignores him. Once in the woods Eggar is even more cranky, but he leaves, planning to meet the group at the other end of the trail in his bus.![]()
