Set against the backdrop of a tumultuous sea voyage, the narrative unfolds after the captain's death, leading to a split among the crew between two senior mates. The narrator's character development mirrors that of the protagonist in The Sea-Wolf, infused with London's complex worldview, including strong rightist perspectives. Inspired by London's own journey around Cape Horn, the story also features a character based on journalist Benjamin De Casseres, who shares nihilistic views. The novel has seen multiple film adaptations since its publication in 1914.
