DESERT BLUE (1998)

Desert Blue tells the story of Professor Davidson and his TV-star daughter Skye's stay in a small town on the edge of a desert. Originally stopping just to see the giant ice-cream attraction, the town becomes quarantined because of a toxic spill. During this time Professor Davidson and Skye get to know the locals, including Ely, who loves to blow things up, and Blue, who wants to complete his father's dream of building a water slide.
