Twelve-year-old Ali joins her brother on her father's Survivor Guy reality show in the Great Dismal Swamp and is disappointed to learn the show relies on stunt doubles and deceptive camera angles. When Ali, five-year-old medic's-daughter Isabel, and intern Adam are left behind during a wildfire evacuation, Ali puts her real survival skills to work. The action sequences fit smoothly with the scenes of emotional growth, and the resolution is satisfying.
