On a day full of mystery, frustrations and strange feelings, destiny cannot wait any longer and takes control. After years of waiting the future of the fading Island now lay in the balance. Will the humans respond in time to save the dying Jewel and restore it to its former glory? Boe Eastman, a park ranger for the State of Georgia comes face to face with his destiny while vacationing on Jekyll Island with his wife Nancy, an animal doctor.

These few lived by a code that was established long ago by Captain Wylly, who was lost at sea during a horrible storm.

Together with the entire League of Protectors, Boe and Nancy work to save the jewel, and ensure it will be safe for years to come. With the spirit of Captain Wylly, the League both human and animal divisions will fight to bring the glory back to the once Grand Jewel, Jekyll Island.
