Joe Fisk is a juvenile delinquent who falls in love with Lisa Taylor, a beautiful Catholic girls' school student, in an Oregon forest.

The two meet by accident when Joe finds her being chased by his peers in a training exercise, and sees Lisa recreating the Pre-Raphaelite painting Ophelia by John Everett Millais by floating in the lake.

Both of them are strongly drawn towards each other but as their current custodians discourage contact with the opposite sex they both find themselves in trouble.

Critics were generally negative at the time of the movie's release, saying the film was dull and slow-paced,[1] and noted that the screenplay, credited to four writers, was poorly written.
