Ten teenagers from LA are planning on having a trip they never forget. But now it's pretty much a lock because their plane crashes, and they end up stuck on an island with nothing but canned food, an airplane, and each other.
Jackson has been chosen leader, but he refuses it. Meanwhile, Daley and Eric continue to search for a source for fresh water to drink. Nathan tries to create a device that will gather water from the air.
With the camping food running out, Nathan, Daley, and Lex have to find food out in the jungle. Meanwhile, Jackson tries to help out by catching fish and Eric fakes an injury in order to not have to help out at all.
Daley is fed up with Taylor because she isn't doing her share of the work. Meanwhile, Lex finds a signal kite and Nathan starts to feel like everyone thinks he's useless.
Nathan and Daley nearly get into a fight with Jackson. To try and bring the survivors together and get rid of boredom, Lex builds an obstacle course and challenges the others to a competition.
All the castaways have been making video diaries to document their personal feelings about the trip and each other. After awakening one morning and finding out that they have been stolen, they all worry that their secrets will be exposed.
Jackson ends up leaving the survivors after a scary secret about him is revealed. However, what he does not know is that a giant monsoon is coming to the island. Lex gets some signal from the radio and Taylor gets injured.
