Three couples embark on a once in a lifetime opportunity. Casting their work-a-day world aside, they launch their yearlong journey to an island off the coast of Belize. They envision living in an island paradise, but like castaways, their journey is filled with challenges, near-death experiences, and underwater surprises. Sheer survival becomes their priority, as they brace for a hurricane and come face-to-face with looters and modern day pirates.
