Barric, a shipwreck leaves an aristocratic family stranded on a remote island, forcing them to confront their own preconceptions and the changing dynamics of their relationships. At the heart of the story is Crichton, the butler who evolves into a natural leader and the linchpin of survival on the deserted island, As the rigid social structures of Edwardian England dissolve in the face of adversity, Crichton's resourcefulness, adaptability, and charm come to the forefront.
