The boys' hair has grown long and their clothes have begun to fall apart since they first found themselves marooned on a deserted island. 

Ralph has been appointed leader and marshalled the others into maintaining a signal fire. But a faction of boys abandon their responsibilities in favour of hunting and his authority is called into question.
