Plot Synopsis

NAKED CASTAWAY is a reality series that follows Ed Stafford, a former British Army Captain, who survives 60 days alone after landing on the remote Fijian island of Olorua with nothing but a camera -- no clothes, no water, no supplies, no food, and no tools. Plagued by limited resources, stifling sickness, and mysterious island creatures, Stafford uses all of his prior survival knowledge and innate innovation to survive. Since he can only last three days without water and three weeks without food, Stafford attempts to create a sustainable life on this uninhabited island. As he struggles to survive this extreme physical and mental challenge, Stafford endures sweltering temperatures by day, freezing temperatures at night, and life without human contact for two months. Discovery aired the U.S. premiere of this series on Sunday, April 14, 2013 at 10pm ET/PT, one month after the series debuted in the UK with the title NAKED AND MAROONED.
