Three passengers, Tire, Hope, and Fair, survive a plane crash and become stranded in a strange, living forest filled with ghosts, a moving mansion, and unusual creatures. What starts as survival, quickly turns into an accidental civilization-building as they establish shelters, a ghost-assisted restaurant, and a bizarre but functioning community governed in part by an unusually influential iguana named Richard.
Over time, their settlement grows into a fully organized forest society with tourism, government-like systems, and global attention. Eventually, they are rediscovered by the outside world and return home, only to find that their "survival camp" has become an internationally famous tourism empire.
In the end, they were no longer missing survivors, they became the accidental founders of a haunted, comedic, and highly profitable forest civilization.
