Fourteen-year-old Josh McAllister is in the midst of teenage angst. He hates being compared to his brainiac sister, he never gets what he wants, and his friendships are in the toilet. Josh blames all his troubles on his parents, who have made a fortune off their new invention-and ruined his life in the process.
With the hope of bonding more as a family, Josh, his parents, and his sisters, Anna and Julie, leave for the Bahamas on their private plane. Just as Josh and his mother conclude one of their worst arguments yet, the plane begins to violently shake. At the insistence of his parents, Josh, Anna, and Julie have no choice but to parachute out of the plane and watch it explode in mid-air just seconds later with their parents inside. Horrified, Josh and his sisters soon land in an uncharted island where it is now up to them to find their way out of the cold, dark jungle and claim their inheritance before their greedy uncle seizes it for himself.
In this exciting action adventure, a teenager and his sisters race for their lives, learning more about themselves and their own inner strength than they ever imagined.
