Plot
Three years after the events in Nim's Island, the island faces yet a new challenge. The operators of the ship Buccaneer have gotten permission to develop a pirate resort on the island, and Nim (Bindi Irwin) and her father pursue separate plans to stop them. Meanwhile, a city boy (Toby Wallace, Edmund in the film), has run away from home to the island, inadvertently bringing poachers with him. With her father, Jack Rusoe (Matthew Lillard) away on the mainland, Nim and Edmund must learn to work together in order to save the island from the poachers.
