Joel Pearce is an average suburban family man looking to shake up his routine and improve himself. He wants to drink less, eat better, get running.

When Joel receives an outrageous birthday gift – a ‘desert island survival experience’ – he views the trip as a personal challenge. Enlisting four close friends, he travels to a remote tropical paradise for three weeks of indulgence and self-discovery.

But after their supplies disappear and they lose contact with the mainland, the rookie castaways start to suspect that the island is far from deserted.
