Finding model with custom IDs not working

gistfile1.js

var Activity = Model("activity", function() {
    this.persistence(Model.REST, "/activity");
    this.unique_key = '_id';
});

$(function() {
  Activity.load(function() {
    console.log(Activity.all())
    var one_activity = Activity.find('fa7043e52b644cd3a7a2217edc0e8928');
    console.log(one_activity)
  });
});

I think the problem is that the response should not have a root node. It should be like this:

[{ _id: "qwerty" }]

As opposed to:

{ activitys: [{ _id: "qwerty" }] }

Catering for this type of response is something I'd like to add.

Hm, I'm going to double-check but I think my controller is returning a list of activities like this:
[{ "_id": "fa7043e52b644cd3a7a2217edc0e8928", "type": "something else"}, { "_id": "33156bf35c6245408e20f1e82f2971f9", "type": "something"}]. Does js-model add the root node somehow (is name of the model in model definition a factor)?
