The show follows best friends Jason (Andrew Jenkins) and Lee (Calum Worthy), after they are transported through a vortex while on a boat trip that started in Vancouver, Canada, to the alien world "Stormworld".

The boys receive help from Flees (Valentina Barron), a seasoned survivor of Stormworld who uses a boat to navigate the hostile environment.

The boys, as new arrivals or "access crashers" as the local inhabitants call them, find shelter at The Settlement.

High on a hill not far from the Settlement is a beacon that flashes a bright light at regular intervals to attract other "access crashers" after arriving in a Vortex.
