In a men’s club for billionaires, an aggressive club president (Sharkey) manipulates the other members and seemingly world affairs. Two private investigators are sent to find the missing vice president, Sharkey’s son, who has stolen extremely dangerous AI from Sharkey, on the remote “newtopian” island called Home. Although Home is distinctive, it evokes traces of Brigadoon, Bali Hai, Camelot, La Mancha, and Shangri-La. Due to the seductive powers of nature, the two detectives fall in love and do not wish to return. Angered by the disloyalty, and threatened by Home’s values, Sharkey seeks to eradicate the entire island. He is met by unexpected natural forces which lead to a surprise climax and a new club order…despite one last chilling maneuver by Sharkey.
