Emily Sheffield's parents are the worst. Okay, maybe Emily has been erratic and her behavior a little reckless lately, but shipping her off to live with her grandparents in Alaska is so much worse than she deserves. For Aiden Cohen, life in Alaska is perfect: good grades, great friends, and work he loves. There's just one thing missing: his mom. But a disastrous first meeting with his birth mom leaves Aiden stunned and ready to go back to his ordinary life in Alaska. 

A confusion on the runaway prevents the plane from landing, but when the plane hits a bad patch of turbulence, throwing it off-course, the pilots lose control. The plane crashes, leaving Emily, Aiden, and two dozen other passengers stranded on a creepy island. But they aren't the only ones on the island, and it's now a race against time for someone to find them before the island's inhabitants do.

"Okay." Jason pats Tom on the shoulder in what I guess is meant to be a comforting show of camaraderie. "The rest of us will stay here and wait for rescue. In the meantime, we're going to ration what food and water we have so that we can - "


"Rations? I have a two-year-old boy. How will I feed him?" another woman asks as a frightened toddler clings to her leg.


"I'm diabetic. I need to eat to keep my blood sugar up." A frail, older gentleman takes a step forward and stumbles. Larry steadies the man.
