Summary of Shelter Island
Lou Delemere (Ally Sheedy) is a successful pro golfer-turned-motivational speaker whose comfortable existence is shattered by a criminal attack outside her Manhattan home. Seeking recovery from the traumatic event, Lou travels with her live-in girlfriend, Alex (Patsy Kensit), to a secluded country estate on the remote Shelter Island. But the women's privacy is once again threatened by an invasive local sheriff (Chris Penn) and a menacing stranger (Stephen Baldwin) who arrives at their door during a violent thunderstorm. When the storm knocks out the island's power and all communication with the outside world, the trapped threesome embark on an uneasy coexistence fraught with danger and sexual intrigue.
