While Brian is flying from New York to Canada in a small bush plane, the pilot has a heart attack and dies mid-flight. Brian is forced to land the bush plane in the Canadian wilderness, somewhere in the Northwoods, where it crashes and sinks into a lake.

As the novel progresses, Brian learns where to find edible berries, masters the ability to hunt wild animals, and even builds a shelter to protect himself from the elements. Fortunately, Brian is able to adapt to his environment and survives in the Northwoods before being rescued.
