Flight 29 Down

Ten high school students from Los Angeles take off on an eco-camping adventure to Micronesia. They are caught in a tropical storm and crash-land on a remote, uninhabited island where they must learn how to survive by finding food and water while living in a world without the rules and restrictions of home.

The pilot and three of the survivors go off in search of life on the island. Daley and Lex hunt for the perfect campsite and find some unwanted guests. Nathan and Melissa try to build a fire without matches.

Daley and Nathan each feel they should be in charge of the group. To stop the arguing, they are given a day to prove who would make the better leader. The ultimate decision will be made by a secret ballot election.

Jackson has been elected leader, but refuses to lead. The bigger problem is drinking water. While Daley and Eric search for a source of fresh water, Nathan tries to create intricate devices that will gather water from the air.

The camping food is running out. While Nathan, Daley and Lex hunt for food in the jungle, Jackson tries to catch fish and Eric pretends to be injured so as not to have to work at all.

Daley is fed up with Taylor because she isn’t doing her share of work, while Lex finds a signal kite that he and Nathan build together.

Lex discovers a new source for food that might be poisonous. Eric blackmails Melissa into doing all of his work.

Tempers run high when Jackson nearly gets in a fight with Nathan and Daley. Lex tries to build morale by creating an elaborate obstacle course for a friendly competition.

While traveling far from the beach in search of food, Nathan and Eric discover a distress message tied to a tree in the jungle that proves they aren’t alone on the island.

One of the original survivors that left to search the island, returns to the beach. She finds it difficult to fit in with the group because there have been so many changes since the crash.

Everyone has been making video diaries to document their personal feelings about the trip and each other. They awake one morning to discover the diaries have been stolen. All of their deepest secrets are in danger of being exposed.

A disturbing secret is revealed about Jackson that prompts him to leave the survivors and travel across the island on his own. The timing couldn’t be worse as a giant monsoon bears down on the island!
