All Aidan thought he'd have to survive during the summer school holidays was yet another game of Fortnite with his mates. But his plans are suddenly swept out to sea after one teeny-tiny bad decision leads to a whole bunch more. Now he's forced to play a real-life game of survival off the wild West Australian coast.

With his Border Collie Barney by his side, will Aidan's courage, humour and grit, along with inspiration from a few celebrities, be enough to see him safely home?
