Brian and Lise are the presenters of a new television adventure series in the making. Twenty-somethings, athletic, good-looking, they have all the combined talents to engage in the rigorous challenges of the outdoors and present them to a television audience.

Brian is at home in the air and on land, while Lise is a water-woman. The series presents challenges to both of them, as their director Marcas tries to be the one who calls the shots.
