Storyline

This show focuses on 7 of the 10 teenage survivors of a plane crash. They're all from LA but not all of them are friends. Their plane lands on some island in the South Pacific. 3 of the teens and the pilot go off in the jungle to explore it leaving the other 7 to worry about setting up camp and finding enough food and water. They have a radio but it is a long time before they get any contact with anyone. Each episode takes place within 1 or half a day of them being on the island. Drama occurs between the castaways revealing their insecurities, crushes, egos, and social problems. Surviving becomes more than just finding enough food and shelter. They eventually become like a family, having to learn to live and work together

User Reviews

My new favorite show!!!

This show is not a rip off of Lost. The concept for the show was made even before Lost got on the air. The show may seem simple at first with just some kids stuck on an island but there is SO much more to it! The stuff they do in every episode is really interesting. Yeah, it could be a little more edgy with maybe someone getting really sick or dying but it's still good. Watching the relationships between the characters is what gives this show a heart. Trying to figure out who's going to end up with who and how each character will react to a situation is what keeps it interesting. This show could easily get boring but it's not. It feels like forever when I have to wait a week for the new episodes. And, if you all think this is some 12 year old writing this well you're wrong. I'm 20 years old and my sister (age 18) loves this. I even think most of the audience for this show are mid-teen girls and up. The added bonus to the show is having Johnny Pacar and Jeremy Kissner as Jackson and Eric. They are very appealing to watch, especially Johnny. So don't listen to people who say that it's a cheesy kiddie show cause it's so not! Watch an episode or two and give it a chance. You'll love it, really!
