Plot Overview
On a yacht bound for Rio de Janeiro, a passenger named
Whitney points out Ship-Trap Island in the distance, a place that
sailors dread and avoid. He and his friend Rainsford are big-game
hunters bound for a hunting trip in the Amazon River basin. As the yacht
sails through the darkness, the two men discuss whether their prey
actually feels fear. Rainsford believes that the world consists only of
predators and prey, although Whitney is not as certain. Noticing the
jitteriness of the crew, Whitney wants to sail past the mysterious
island as soon as possible. He theorizes that sailors can sense danger
and that evil emanates in waves like light and sound.
