Beskrivelse

Labor Day weekend, 1966. Three high school buddies who haven't seen each other in five years plan a quiet get-together. One is a Navy recruit, another's a failing entrepreneur, the third's on the lam from a mobster goon squad. When the three attempt a reunion the result is anything but quiet. First, there's a brig escape during a driving hurricane. Then a hostage situation involving a stolen Cessna. The entrepreneur's latest venture is trashed during an insane week-long party. Eventually everyone ends up at a barrier island psychiatric treatment center for prominent loonies suffering from psychosomatic death. Where we witness a wedding celebration with hippies, whores, a stoned priest, and exploding inflatable furniture, After a drug deal gone haywire, a questionable suicide, and a side-trip to darkest Africa, the story culminates in stowaways hidden aboard a pirated Chinese freighter on a transatlantic voyage to the island. The reunion finally takes place at Wongo Flats, an Appalachian hide-out owned by an illiterate recluse who's just given away a $500,000 fortune to one of the trio's quadruple-amputee pet cat.
