Rock Island - Chapter One

After the initial shock of the shipwreck, it's apparent that everyone must work together in order to ensure survival. You're on hut-building detail along with the smart guy (Roy is his name, you later learn) and the boat's captain (who only seems to own a single blue shirt a few sizes too small). The two single women, Cinnamon and Ann Marie, take on the fishing duties, while the older couple (who seem a bit too snobby, and who have way more clothing than was necessary for a three hour cruise) reluctantly agree to gather the remaining useful supplies that washed up on the island.

At night, while talking to Cinnamon, you learn she's into metal. She tells you she followed a hair metal band from Pennsylvania to Los Angeles, and stayed in LA to pursue acting. Work was tough to come by, but after a while, she found steady jobs first in commercials and later on TV, mostly on soap operas.
