SYNOPSIS
It all kicks off in 1775 at a sleepy inn on the coast of England, where young Jim Hawkins stumbles into a world of danger and discovery. What starts as an ordinary day quickly turns into a life-changing quest for hidden treasure. Along the way, Jim faces off with cutthroat characters like the shady Billy Bones, the ruthless Israel Hands, and the fierce pirate Anne Bonney. But no one is more unforgettable than Long John Silver, a charming, cunning, and totally unpredictable pirate who blurs the line between villain and hero.
This is not just a story about treasure; it's about loyalty, growing up, and choosing who you want to be when things get rough. Whether you're into epic battles, wild plot twists, or just a really good pirate tale, Treasure Island delivers it all.
So grab your compass. Adventure awaits!
