�Pilot, Parts 1 & 2� -- After Oceanic flight 815 crash lands, the 48 survivors find themselves on an island of harsh terrain, cruel weather and dark secrets, including a frightful creature that stalks the jungle. Strangers all, even those related by blood, the survivors� pasts � their ethics, religions, politics and attitudes � threaten to jeopardize the group�s ability to endure. However, thanks to the calm leadership of quick-thinking Jack and level-headed Kate, the group has hope for survival and rescue. Meanwhile, the discovery of a transceiver among the plane�s wreckage and the thought that rescue could be imminent temporarily raises the castaways� spirits.
