    Branson Hawthorne is devastated when his parents tell him they are going on a ski trip in Aspen, and he won't be joining them. Instead, they send him to a fancy summer camp in the Daintree Forest with cooking and business classes. He also finds that he has to spend this holiday with other kids: Elton, Addison and Victoria, who seem to think that Branson is a total embarrassment. When the kids arrive at their so-called luxury retreat, they realise they have all been deceived. The place is in ruins in the middle of a dense jungle and the owners are going to use the kids as free labour to renovate the retreat. They must escape! A humorous story about the power of working together, perseverance, and turning a scary situation into an exciting adventure.
