Although members of the Tuck family stopped aging 87 years ago, they no longer consider themselves human. In fact, they refer to outsiders -- anyone who didn't drink from the spring that stopped their tide of wrinkles -- as "humans." Patriarch Angus Tuck (William Hurt) likens his ageless wife (Sissy Spacek) and their two sons (Jonathan Jackson and Scott Bairstow) to "rocks stuck at the side of a stream."
Relatively young immortals, they haven't mastered dealing with humans -- which is why, when young Winnie Foster (Alexis Bledel of "The Gilmore Girls") stumbles onto their secret in 1914, Miles Tuck (Bairstow) spirits the lacy girl to the family's hidden forest home near the small town of Tree Gap. The stream of life is about to dislodge the Tucks from their snug place in the earth.
