Imagine 20 boys all alone on a deserted island without a single parent to tell them what to do. You would expect it to be fun and exciting, in the beginning it is, but as the rebellious hunters fight against the intelligent leader, many disasters start. 20 boys from an expensive private school are brought down to an island off the coast of South America because of a terrible plane crash. The boys are from different groups in the school, there are the choir boys, some very smart but weak boys, and the popular, athletic boys. The main character, Ralph, is selected to be the leader but other more popular and persuasive boys grab the attention of the group and turn them against Ralph.
