Following a devastating crash, a group of teenagers find themselves forced to survive on a tropical island. Cade and his friends are on an ecology school trip, flying from Los Angeles to Hawai'i, when the plane suffers a loss of power, and all of its instruments fail.

Now the teenagers must survive in this dangerous and terrifying habitat.

And beyond the terrors of this exotic landscape, there is a question that haunts Cade to his core. Is there a reason why they are here? Dangers rise from the deaths, death looms above all, and war threatens the survivors. Who will die? Who will live? Who will survive in the Survival Zone?
