| Brian is a 13 year old boy caught up in the divorce of his mother and father. When Brian has to go and fly out to the Canadian oil fields to see his father, the pilot of his small one engine plane has a heart attack and dies, leaving Brian to fly the plane alone.
Brian flies until he runs out of fuel and crashes at the edge of a small lake alone, injured and in the wilderness. Brian creates a shelter out of a hollowed out boulder and manages to create fire by using his hatchet and a flint stone. With his hatchet he fashions tools to hunt and manages to do so successfully. Even with his random strokes of luck, will it be enough to survive in the wilderness? | ||
