Four friends (Alex, Zack, Jade, and Les) embark on a vacation to a tropical island, but their boat catches fire and they become stranded on a different, supposedly "ugly" island. As they try to survive and find a way off, they discover the island is haunted by a ghost who protects its resources. The friends initially ignore the ghost's warnings and continue to use the island's resources, but eventually, they realize the ghost is trying to stop a villainous person named Bob, who was taking them to the resort, from destroying the island. The friends team up with the ghost to stop Bob and ultimately escape the island with the help of a helicopter.
