Description
Thirty-five-year-old Lissy and her friends Tom, Joanne, Robbie, and Sarah along with Lissy's new love interest, Rigo, take a morning dive in a gorgeous-but dangerous-site two hours off the coast of Cozumel, Mexico. The dive captain warned them, and sure enough, tragedy strikes as they explore the spectacular reef. These six are separated from the other eight divers in their group and see the current carry them away to almost certain death. After an exhausting battle with the elements, the surviving divers drift onto a beautiful, seemingly uninhabited island. However, far from the safe haven they had hoped for, the island presents terrifying new challenges for Lissy and her friends. With daily battles for survival, the group must confront the overwhelmingly predatory inhabitants of their new home to cement their chances of rescue. They soon realize, though, that nature isn't the only force in play. Between the hyperaggressive monkeys ruling the island, giant reptiles, and dog-sized spiders, the friends recognize something else must be at work. But what? Their encounter with a band of sentient orangutans brightens their uncertain future, but can these kind and gentle primates give the friends the edge they need to survive being Stranded?
