Sophie is a Denver teenager who misses her real father and dislikes her new stepfather. When she "acts out," her parents send her to the Advanced Sensitivity Achievement Program (ASAP), which they think is a state of the art deluxe institution in the remote Fiji islands, but in reality is a prison-like boot camp where teens are abused and brainwashed. When her boyfriend back in Denver learns of the true nature of the program, he causes himself to be sent to the camp to help her escape.
