What is Island about?

Cameron arrives on a remote Arctic island with his research scientist mother, expecting freezing weather, endless daylight and a few weeks of boredom. Without his usual technology, he soon notices strange signs: graves that seem to erupt, mysterious voices and an Inuit girl who should not be there. Then he encounters a huge white bear. As the island’s secrets unfold, Cameron must decide what is real, what is impossible and whether he can trust the adults around him.
