A group of friends, including Edwin and Anthony, attempt to spend 24 hours on a homemade raft in the water. The raft was made using only $100 worth of items from Walmart, purchased within a 20-minute time limit. The friends face various challenges, including the sun, hunger, and a chance of being taken out to sea due to offshore winds. They use trash bags and duct tape to create a canopy for shade and try to survive with minimal supplies. Along the way, they encounter seagulls, other beachgoers, and even a person riding a unicycle. The friends eventually make it through the 24 hours, albeit with some difficulties, and express gratitude to their fans for supporting them.
