Explorer Ellis Emmett sets sail for the islands of Fiji, where he comes face to face with bull sharks, partakes in ancient Fijian fire walking rituals, and anchors in the remote Lau Islands, a beautiful place with a violent past.

Host Ellis Emmett has his first brush with royalty on the island kingdoms of Wallis and Futuna. But it is the life of a lone man, living simply on a remote island, which truly captures Ellis' imagination. Ever the adventurer, Ellis dives into a lake that, according to local legend, is full of mysteries and monsters.

The Marshall Islands have a long human history, but it is the more recent saga that was thrust upon them during World War II and its aftermath that draws host Ellis Emmett to its shores. Following the Allied victory, the United States moved the local inhabitants from their quiet paradise in order to conduct atomic bomb testing at the famous Bikini Atoll. Ellis explores how, almost 65 years later, both the people and environment continue to be affected.
