In the presence of the film crew

When the coastal Florida town of Atlantic Beach is threatened by an impending hurricane, the locals prepare for mandatory evacuation. But, as the last tourists depart and residents board up their homes, a few wanderers feel strangely compelled to remain. Among them are two longtime friends who embrace willful ignorance in pursuit of their dream gig; a local teenager who bikes alone through the darkening night; and an obsessive storm chaser who recognizes this might be the opportunity of his career. As if haunted by the soon-to-be ghost of their hometown, they venture into the night and face the threats that await them with fascination and dread.
