Sean Contessa and Maria Simone, two college interns expecting to complete their college schoolwork and return home for the summer, now have their hands full in a way in which few others can relate. They find themselves lost in the Peruvian Jungle alone and in charge of 12 middle school and elementary school age children who have just survived a harrowing plane crash that has taken the lives of the plane's crew, adult chaperones, and even a few of the less fortunate children.

Fortunately for their sanity, not everything in the jungle is dry seriousness, however. After all they are children and these kids sometimes find fun and games in the strangest of places and seem to excel at making the best of things even in the worst of circumstances. Be a witness to these remarkable children and
