| Summary |
Allie Fox, the brilliant and paranoid inventor takes his family to live in the Honduran jungle, determined to build a civilization better than the one they left. Fleeing from an America he sees as mired in materialism and conformity, he hopes to rediscover a purer life. His utopian experiment takes a dark turn when his obsessions lead his family towards unimaginable danger.
