After a disastrous trip on the Coastal Venture, the Pogues find themselves marooned on an unknown island with no way to call home. At first, survival is simple. John B outlines five rules to keep them alive. They carve weapons, find fresh water, and hunt for food. The Pogues are ready for whatever the island may throw at them.

The Pogues have to make a choice: find a way to live on this island without destroying everything in their path or never make it back home.
