Actress Skye is just passing through with her father, a pop-culture prof. (John_Heard), but they're forced to stay in town after a truck-spill leads to a quarantine and the presence of both an FBI agent (Michael_Ironside) and an EPA agent (Aunjanue_Ellis). Skye gets caught up in local fun and games (orange baseball, potato cannon salvos), while her dad reminisces about the '60s with UFO fanatic Caroline (Lucinda_Jenney). Shown at the 1998 Toronto Film Festival. Bhob Stewart, Rovi
