LOST

Brian Robertson, sole passenger on a Cessna 406, is on his way to visit his father when the tiny bush plane crashes in the Canadian wilderness. With nothing but his clothing, a tattered windbreaker, and the hatchet his mother had given him as a present, Brian finds himself completely alone.

Challenged by his fear and despair -- and plagued with the weight of a dreadful secret he's been keeping since his parent's divorce -- brian must tame his inner demons in order to survive. It will take all his know-how and determination, and more courage than he knew he possessed.

Thirteen year old Brian Robeson goes on a plane ride to his dads in Canada but something went wrong with the pilots heart and he died. So Brian had to land the plane himself onto a lake. He laid on shore for a couple of days. Then he made a shelter under a rock. But he had to eat so he made a spear for fishing but it did't work so he made a bow. One day he got the survival kit out of the plane and got rescued by another pilot shortly after he made lunch.

Hachet Brian and the pilot were flying the plane to his Dads house. The pilot has a heart attack. Brian now has to fly the plane himself. He crashes the plane in an L shaped island.
