Sean Ericksen receives an invitation to his brother's wedding in Australia. His whole family plans to attend. He happens to travel earlier than the rest of them with his nephew and niece. The pilot of the 747 is a family friend who allows Sean to stow a sword as a present aboard the flight to Australia.
The 747 jet has engine trouble somewhere over the South Pacific and has to ditch in the ocean. Most of the passengers make it ashore onto a nearby tropical island.
Immediately, one man, Harry, tries to rape a women while his three friends watch. Sean puts an end to that. Those four men try to take over the community. Sean thwarts them, making blood enemies in the process.
Harry convinces the village that he has mended his ways and he and his friends become useful members of society, but Sean doesn't trust them.
Can they survive a Category 5 typhoon causing three tsunamis hundreds of feet high?
Can they survive when the volcano erupts hurling a quarter mile cubed mass into the air, then sends liquid magma pouring down its flanks?
Sean and some friends make a dugout canoe and explore an old, derelict ship that crashed on a nearby reef decades ago, where he finds a well preserved sword.
Sean allows Harry to get a hold of his old sword and, sure enough, Harry tries to take over the island and rape the woman again, since he thinks he has the only weapon.
Sean and Harry have a showdown.
While Sean is away from the village, everyone in the community disappears.
Can Sean figure out what happened, then use the dugout canoe to save them?
Will they ever be rescued?
