Plot Synopsis:
Lord of the Flies meets Miami Vice?! Hardcore survivalist Joe takes five teen delinquents with various crimes (gang bangers, cocaine dealer, murderer and car thief) and teaches them how to survive in the Everglades and downtown Miami.

Favorite Moments:

  • "I've never heard of no juvenile facility in the middle of the Everglades!"
  • Crazy offering up his cup for seconds of the milkweed/snail/termite egg stew
  • Laurence Fishburn's opening line: "This is who you let run you out of the house?! Five punks and Tonto?!?!"
  • James Remar's fabulous cocaine stash and santeria closet. Genuinely creepy moment between him and Lauren Holly.
