The story is based on the kidnapping (2001) of a group of tourists from the Dos Palmas Resort in the province of Palawan, Philippines. One of them got through the whole ordeal and wrote a book about her experiences. During the first four days the full group was cramped together in a small boat. The rest of the journey covers a whole year finding ones way through the jungle, a seemingly endless series of moves from village to village.
