In July 2005, Dewey Gaedcke goes on a sightseeing trip to Hawaii, only to become lost on a lava plain on Kilauea, one of the most consistently active volcanoes in the world. He must fight against the elements, dehydration and a spreading infection in his foot to survive in an inhospitable landscape with only his video camera to keep him sane. Although he manages to find a small pocket of jungle amongst the rugged terrain, several helicopters fly over the area and completely ignore his attempts at signalling them, and his morale slowly breaks down. Ultimately, Gilbert is rescued after five days on the volcano, when a teenager riding as a passenger in a sightseeing helicopter notices him from above.
