When L.J. Hippler, a military contractor, reluctantly accepts the ninety-day cost tracking assignment in Qatar, he is dismayed by the realization that the gargantuan job of building Expeditionary Village will stretch from three to thirteen months. Team members will begin to sabotage each other to avoid being the next person voted off the island. After an R&R trip home, however, he can't wait to get back to his tribe.
