After spending six years as an assistant to reckless, entitled Edmund Worthing, I've finally had enough. I want more in my life than scrambling to fulfill his every whim and demand. He's got too much money and too little responsibility, and he never takes anything seriously. I want to do something worthwhile in my life, and Edmund Worthing will never be that. So I hand in my resignation letter. After we return from an extended cruise on his new yacht, I'm gone. The last thing I expect is to get caught in a sudden, devastating storm at sea, but now I'm stranded alone on a deserted island with my obnoxious boss. He can't even pick out his own meal at a high-end restaurant. He'll be absolutely no help as we scrounge for food and shelter. But, if we want to survive, he's all I've got.
