Brian Robeson is a thirteen year old boy from New York that is on his way to the Canadian fields in a small one-passenger jet plane. Little did he know that this trip would change his life forever.
When the pilot of the small jet plane dies in midair due to severe heart attack, Brian finds himself stuck 7,000 feet above land by himself. Initially, the boy’s reaction is to terrifyingly sob and scream. Not having the slightest idea of what to do with the pilot, with the plane, with nothing.
After his brief panic attack, Brian manages to tranquilize himself. He realizes that he must try to do something in order to survive. Brian cluelessly maneuvered the Cessna 406 for about an hour, not having the slightest clue in what direction he was going. Under much anxiety, panic and stress, Brian manages to crash-land the plane in a lake surrounded completely by dense Canadian forest. The young thirteen year old manages to save himself with just one thing; a hatchet his mother had given him.
Brian is surprised to find that he has avoided death with nothing more than scrapes and bruises. He acknowledges that he is alone and that in order to keep avoiding death he would have to be productive and keep a straight set mind, free of negativity.
In his first two weeks, he was capable of find food, build shelter, and his most admiring accomplishment, to build a fire; all thanks to the ingenious hatchet.
After many weeks outcasted, there is a psychological change in Brian that has made him more aware of his surroundings, his senses have broadened and he has become tougher. Due to this change he is better able to survive as a castaway.
One day after a strong tornado arose and shook everything, Brian noticed the jet plane which was at the bottom of the lake had risen and stayed afloat. Brian swam to it with the goal of removing the emergency pack from the plane and make some use of it. He managed to a compass, cooking tools, a sleeping bag, matches, lighters, a survival rifle and an emergency transmitter. He grabbed the transmitter not expecting it to work after being at the bottom a lake for so long. He tried to use it and just like he expected, his intent was futile. Or so he thought. Hours after a fur trader water plane came. It landed in the lake and alas, rescued Brian. Turns out, the transmitter had sent a signal making it facile to locate Brian and the plane.
