2 young boys from different backgrounds travel on a cruise ship with their parents, and form a close friendship. On the night of the voyage though, a storm strikes, stranding the two boys all alone on a desert island. The only person they can find, after two days, is the captain of the ship, who is passed out drunk. Captain Garrick raises the boys, having given up hope of being found. Only a few short years later, the Captain disappears, never to be heard from again. The boys, now all alone, must stick together to survive. But soon, puberty sets in, and their friendship begins to turn into something much more. They have seen several ships pass by, but now they start to wonder, do they really want to leave this island paradise? Surely nobody's looking for them any more. Maybe they should just stay here, together forever...
