Synopsis
A young boy named Michael (Aaron MacGregor) and his family set off on a round-the-world sailing trip, but after a tumultuous storm erupts, Michael and his dog are swept overboard, eventually washing up on a remote island. After trying to adjust to life alone, the young boy is confronted by a Japanese man (Ken Watanabe) who’s disgruntled with Michael’s presence, but the two are forced to come together as invaders threaten their tranquil island existence.
