Story

Teenager Aidan and his pet monkey Hobo are on a cruise ship, which starts to sink. Aidan gets onto a lifeboat with Hobo. The lifeboat dashes away, but soon comes to a stop. The pilot announces that the propeller is stuck, and Aidan volunteers to go and free it. The boat shakes and Aidan is thrown into the current with Hobo. As Aiden drifts away, a man on the lifeboat tosses him a suitcase. Aidan grabs the suitcase, while Hobo hops on. Soon, Aidan wakes up on an island. He explores it until he sees a larger island in the distance. He builds a raft out of the suitcase and some driftwood. He and Hobo sail over to the larger island. The raft breaks apart as he reaches the island, and all his belongings float away. Upon arrival, the two are greeted by a teenage girl named Lucy and her dog Max. They band together and start to explore the island.
