Malam ini adalah malam tahun baru, saat semua orang merayakan pergantian tahun, 2019 ke 2020. Namun di laut lepas, sekitar lima puluh kilometer dari pusat kota Metropolis, sebuah kapal nelayan kecil terombang-ambing di tengah badai dahsyat. Perahu kecil milik Norman Ferdian terangkat tinggi, dihantam gelombang hingga terbalik. Di atasnya ada dirinya dan putranya yang baru berusia empat belas tahun. Dua hari sebelumnya mereka berlayar menangkap ikan, berharap kembali tepat waktu untuk merayakan tahun baru, namun takdir berkata lain. Ketika Nathan tersadar, tubuhnya basah kuyup dan terasa berat. Ia terbaring di pasir dingin sebuah pantai asing. Di sampingnya terbujur kaku sosok ayahnya, Norman Ferdian. Tak lagi bernapas, tak lagi bergerak. Wajah Nathan memucat, tangannya gemetar memegang tubuh ayahnya. Tangisnya pecah, diiringi angin laut yang pekat. Di sekitar, ia melihat sebuah wilayah yang gelap, sunyi, liar, asing. Tidak ada tanda manusia, hanya ombak dan ranting patah dipukul angin. Ia tidak tahu di mana ia berada, dan ketidaktahuan itu membuatnya semakin takut. ... Lima tahun berlalu. Di lautan sekitar pulau terpencil itu, kapal nelayan perlahan mendekat. Asap tipis dari tengah pulau menarik perhatian mereka. Pulau itu dikenal sebagai pulau misterius yang berbahaya, katanya tidak berpenghuni, menyimpan banyak kisah orang hilang. Tiba-tiba seorang pemuda lusuh berlari menuruni bukit. Tubuhnya kurus namun berotot, pakaian compang-camping, rambut panjang dan janggut lebat, memegang busur sederhana. Ia menembakkan panah api ke tumpukan kayu kering, menyalakan api unggun besar sebagai sinyal bagi kapal. Para nelayan terkejut. Nathan menunjukkan kartu identitas ayahnya dan makam Norman di pinggir pantai. Mereka mengerti bocah ini bukan pembohong. Dengan hati berat, mereka mengajak Nathan naik kapal. Nathan menatap pulau itu, mata yang tidak lagi sama. Lima tahun di tempat ini bukan hanya membuatnya bertahan, tapi mengubahnya menjadi sesuatu yang berbeda. Apa yang sebenarnya terjadi pada Nathan? Bagaimana ia bisa bertahan selama lima tahun di pulau liar itu?
