Will is sent to a remote, screen-free camp for tech-addicted kids and must escape to return a vital item to his brother. Will's addiction to his phone lands him in a 'rewilding' camp where technology is forbidden, much to his dismay. He soon discovers he's accidentally smuggled something belonging to his brother that needs urgent return. With no communication devices available, Will and three newly-made friends devise a plan to break out of the camp under the cover of darkness. Their escape launches them into a chaotic adventure through the wilderness, where they must race against time to deliver Will's smuggled cargo and survive the perils of nature.

The premise sets up a humorous conflict between a tech-dependent protagonist and the challenges of a screen-free, outdoor environment. The narrative appears to focus on the escapades of Will and his friends as they attempt to escape the camp and complete their mission. The tone suggests a lighthearted and fast-paced story centered on a ridiculous journey through the woods.
