Adventurous plot and the acting is done well, however, with the exception of Rider, Barbour, and one of the child actors, very little sympathy can be garnered for the other characters....the over acting and unbelievable over the top behavior breaks the sense of reality the writers hoped to accomplish....problems with the plot development. Secondary plot involving teen love is weak which dilutes the primary premise. The artistic license inventing the risks that the characters is not plausible leaving the viewer with a sense of frustration trying to reconcile the behavior leaving one to loose empathy for all the characters....very unrealistic. It a shame that the actors were saddled with a plot that nearly trumps their attempts to pul it off.Too bad...it could have been a winner.
