Overview

Un avion rempli de lycéens s'écrase dans la jungle. Qui survivra ? Qui mourra ? Qui deviendra un assassin ?
Tom, jeune homme solitaire, ne voulait pas participer à ce voyage scolaire au Costa Rica. Tout bien réfléchi, il aurait dû le refuser tout net, car l'avion qui transportait sa classe s'écrase en pleine jungle !
Par miracle, la queue de l'appareil se détache, et dix-neuf adolescents survivent au crash. Perdu au coeur de la forêt tropicale, le petit groupe traumatisé tente de s'organiser. Comment survivre dans cet environnement hostile, entre bêtes sauvages et trafiquants de drogue ?
Les circonstances vont transformer profondément chacun des rescapés.
Qui s'improvisera leader et organisera la recherche des secours ?
Qui saura chaque jour donner espoir à tous ?
Qui se transformera en assassin ?
