Wahoo Cray and his father, Mickey Cray, a professional animal wrangler, are hired to help with the latest episode of a reality series titled Expedition Survival! As Mickey was injured shortly before by an iguana falling on his head, and is suffering the after-effects of a serious concussion, Wahoo takes it upon himself to accept for both of them while his mother is on a business trip in China for the extra money.
