Trapped is the story of a group of ordinary kids thrust into an extraordinary situation, when they are left alone, struggling to survive, at a remote scientific research station. For some of the kids, the research base already seems like a prison. No stretch of beautiful sand beach or warm turquoise sea is going to make up for being away from the "real world". For others, it's a coral paradise they are free to explore and enjoy, without having to share it with any tourists. And there's always the thrill of knowing that the work their parents are doing over on the research island is not only top secret but incredibly important for humankind. Then one day a stranger and his son fly in. The man flashes his i.d card and heads over to the island research base, promising his reluctant passenger that he'll be back by dark, and they'll be out of there. Only he doesn't come back. And neither does anyone else.
