Luke and five others are on a “get-your-life-in-order” cruise.   All of them have areas of struggle in their lives.   However, in the first book, things don’t go as planned.  There is a terrible storm; one adult dies, and the other abandons them.  The ship sinks, and they need to rely on each other for survival.   In the second and third books, the cast-aways learn to survive on a desert island, avoiding and out-smarting smugglers while looking for an opportunity to be rescued.
