Plot

Emma and Dean are two high-school students on a class trip to Trinidad to build a school for children and explore the island. The two have little in common. During a boat party, Emma falls overboard when the party is interrupted by a police raid, Dean jumps in the water to save her. The pair drifts in a dinghy to a deserted island, and their parents desperately search for them. Wondering if they will ever be rescued, Emma and Dean must rely on each other to survive. At first they are friends, but eventually their bond evolves into a romantic relationship. After being stuck for over 100 days, they are rescued by a tourist helicopter and taken back. They are met by family, friends, and the media. Emma is thrust back into a more popular position in school while Dean, still somewhat of an outcast, still longs for her. Emma attends the prom, and Dean eventually decides to go as well after a little push by his father. Emma and Dean kiss passionately there and dance.
