In the United States during the Civil War, five northerners fled the besieged capital of the Richmond Confederates in a hot air balloon. In March 1865, a terrible storm threw them ashore on a desert island in the Southern Hemisphere. Each of the new settlers of the island has indispensable talents, and under the leadership of engineer Cyrus Smith, these brave people come together and become a single team.
