Survival. It’s an idea these high school students never really had to consider–until their plane crashes within a remote rainforest without adults remaining alive. With many of them dropping prey to threats from both jungle and man, they soon recognize that danger comes in many sinister forms.

Tom Calloway didn’t want to go on a field trip to Costa Rica, but circumstances had him finding yourself sitting in the rear of the plane–which was the only component that was intact following the crash in the remote South American about WHENEVER WE Were Shed wilderness. Tom and a small group of his classmates are lucky to become alive, but their good luck quickly runs out when a few of them fall prey to the unfamiliar threats of the jungle–animals, reptiles, pests, as well as the unforgiving warmth. Every decision they make could suggest life or loss of life.

As time goes by and the survivors’ desperation grows, things get a lot more perilous. Not really everyone can deal with the stress of seeing their friends perish, and a struggle for leadership soon pits them against each other. And when they come across evidence of other people in the middle of the rainforest, will that mean they’re safe–or offers their survival come to a far more vicious end?
