Welcome to the Jungle

A disillusioned and overworked corporate executive, Michael, is sent to a remote island resort for a mandatory team-building retreat. Expecting a relaxing escape, he instead finds himself in a series of bizarre and challenging survival exercises led by a charismatic but eccentric life coach. Michael must confront his own limitations and redefine his priorities as he navigates the unpredictable jungle and the equally unpredictable personalities of his colleagues.
