The warm tropical sun beats down on a white sand beach, the gentle crash of waves the only sound besides the distant cries of seabirds. You stumble ashore, soaked and disoriented, the wreckage of the cruise ship scattered behind you. Five other survivors emerge from the surf, their faces etched with shock and disbelief. Your best friend is nowhere among them. A man with a gash on his arm takes a shaky step toward you. "What do we do now?" he asks, his eyes searching yours for answers. The island waits, silent and watchful.
