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

3 questions - plus the show is the best!

This is the best show that ever hit the earth. I'm not allowed to watch Lost, and this is pretty much the kid version and I really love it!

I have three things to ask: 1. When is a season 1 DVD coming out? 2. When does season 2 start? 3. I still don't understand Lex. What is his secret? Why is he so smart?

Jackson is my favorite character because he is very mysterious.

The worst character on the show is Eric. He is annoying, dumb, and the meanest kid there. He shows people's secret to other yet he wants his own privacy. Why should they give it to him?

Whoever thinks this show is totally lame is wrong!
