Nine teenagers and a 10-year-old boy are planning on having a school trip they will never forget. However, they get more than they bargained for when their plane crashes and they end up stuck on an island with nothing but canned food, an airplane, and each other.

When Nathan and Daley fight over who should be the leader of their group, Nathan tries to light a signal fire, while Daley looks for a suitable campsite. Meanwhile, the pilot and three of the kids decide to search the island.

Daley & Nathan are still campaigning to be the group leader, but when the kids use a secret ballot, the majority of votes goes to neither Daley or Nathan.

Even though Jackson has been chosen leader, he refuses to accept it. Meanwhile, Daley and Eric continue to search for a source of 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 & Nathan build a signal kite together.

Eric blackmails Melissa into doing his share of the work. Meanwhile Lex discovers a new food source - raw oysters.

Daley and Nathan go pig hunting together. Meanwhile, Taylor spreads a secret about Melissa in retaliation for ruining her shirt.

Nathan and Eric discover a distress message that leads them to believe that there is someone else on the island.

A recently rescued Abby finds that much has changed since the crash, making it hard to fit in with the other survivors.

All the castaways have been making video diaries to document their personal feelings about the trip and each other. After waking one morning, they find that the tapes have been stolen, and they all worry that their secrets will be exposed.

Jackson ends up leaving the survivors after a shocking secret about him is revealed, and he decides to travel across the island on his own. However, what he does not know is that a giant monsoon is coming to the island.
