James, a toiling scientist and his strong willed scientist feonsey Claire, are on an darwinian adventure when their ship is taken over by pirates who kill the defiant captain crew, take what valuables they can, disable the boat and leave the pair of scientists adrift in the ocean. Soon enough, the ship crash lands on a desert isle, teeming with plant and wildlife to eat and to study. Fortunatly the pirates didn't take some key tools to survival or any books/scientific supplies. Claire puts her mind towards practical measures like creating shelture, finding a consistant food source, and figuring out how to get off the island (fire, radio, fix the ship.) James follows Claire's lead but can't keep his mind off of idealistic endeavours. A disagreement over the location for thier new abode leads to James' proposal to make a new law of the land (ala animal farm). Discussion of household duties are legaleezed. Later, the couple hunt and kill their first goat. The mother goat's kid is discovered and remorse is immediate for Claire. They take the goat in and raise it as their own. Claire brings up death as a new law. They promise never to take life. The next day they discover hoofprints in the sand.
