Blown halfway across the world and stranded on a remote island, the fugitives' survival depends upon their ability to build a sustainable environment while withstanding pirate attacks, volcanic eruptions, and other challenges. Starting with the development of fire, pottery, and bricks, the castaways gradually achieve one technological advance after another by combining their skills - and with some surreptitious help from an unknown benefactor, whose identity adds to their island's mystery.
