It is in the year of 1945 and Jack Martyn returns from the horrors of World War 2 to his hometown of Perth, Western Australia.
Homeless and discarded by his dysfunctional parents, Jack spirals downward into near hopelessness as he indulges in heavy drinking sessions in an endeavour to kill the demons in his head.
Trying to break out of the self-imposed empty existence Jack heads north seeking employment. On his journey, he is befriended by two elder women who had lost loved ones in the same conflict in which Jack had taken part. Their friendship and understanding set him on his way to recovery.
After casual jobs assisting a country based racehorse trainer and being a member of a shearing team, Jack finds himself working as a deckhand on a crayfish/rock lobster boat based at the Abrolhos Islands.
But something sinister hides on that Paradise location. Skeletons of long-dead victims of a past mutiny began appearing. Jack is getting his life back in order but is frustrated by the hurdles that keep appearing in his path.
