A band of shipwrecked colonists struggles to survive on an unfamiliar island as leadership disputes and a stern commander shape defensive preparations. Interactions with local peoples unfold through language lessons, masquerade, and secret alliances that bind some colonists to native youths and complicate a developing romance. Demands from a ruling chief prompt fears of deportation, covert plans, and daring rescue attempts, while betrayals and tactical decisions escalate tensions. The narrative moves toward a dramatic catastrophe that exposes hidden motives, forces personal sacrifices, and culminates in painful partings.
