Set on the fictional island of Eilean Aros, the story follows Charlie, a young man from Edinburgh, as he journeys to visit his uncle Gordon and cousin Mary. Initially seeking a vacation and hidden treasure, Charlie discovers his uncle has descended into alcoholism and crime, including murder. The narrative features vivid descriptions of shipwrecks and the island's beauty, while the offshore rocks are personified as "merry men," adding a unique element to the tale. The story explores themes of isolation, family ties, and the darker sides of human nature.
