From J.J. Abrams, the creator of Alias, and Damon Lindelof (Crossing Jordan)
comes an action-packed adventure that will bring out the very best and the very
worst in the people who are lost.
Out of the blackness, the first thing
Jack (Matthew Fox, Party of Five) senses is pain. Then burning sun. A Bamboo
forest. Smoke. Screams. With a rush comes the horrible awareness that the plane
he was on tore apart in mid-air and crashed on a Pacific island. From there its
a blur, as his doctors instinct kicks in: people need his help.
Stripped of everything, the 48 survivors scavenge what they can from the
plane for their survival. Some panic. Some pin their hopes on rescue. A few find
inner strength they never knew they had — like Kate (Evangeline Lilly), who,
with no medical training, suddenly finds herself suturing the doctors wounds.
Hurley (Jorge Garcia) — a man with a warm sense of humor despite the desperate
situation — does his best to keep his cool as he helps those around him to
survive. Charlie (Dominic Monaghan) is a faded rock star who harbors a painful
secret. Sayid (Naveen Andrews) is a Middle Eastern man who must wrestle with the
racial profiling directed at him by some of his fellow survivors. Jin (Daniel
Dae Kim) and Sun (Yunjin Kim) are a Korean couple whose traditions, values and
language are foreign and thus causes much to get lost in the translation.
Sawyer (Josh Holloway) has an air of danger surrounding him, and his
intense sense of mistrust for everyone around him could prove to be fatal to his
fellow castaways. Michael (Harold Perrineau) has just gained custody of his
nine-year-old son, Walt (Malcolm David Kelley), after the death of his ex-wife —
they are a father and son who dont even know each other. Locke (Terry OQuinn)
is a mysterious man who keeps to himself, and who harbors a deeper connection to
the island than any of the others. And self-centered Shannon (Maggie Grace) —
who actually gives herself a pedicure amid the chaos — and her estranged
controlling brother, Boone (Ian Somerhalder) — constantly bicker and must learn
to get along if they are to survive.
The band of friends, family, enemies
and strangers must work together against the cruel weather and harsh terrain if
they want to stay alive. But the island holds many secrets, including the
intense howls of the mysterious creatures stalking the jungle, which fill them
all with fear. Fortunately, thanks to the calm leadership of quick-thinking Jack
and level-headed Kate, they have hope. But even heroes have secrets, as the
survivors will come to learn.
