Barney, a teenage boy, and his parents rent a summer cabin in Dunstable. Him and his parents are staying in a house that belonged to Captain Latham. Captain Latham had a trading ship when Dunstable was an important port.

The captain's stupid younger brother was a sailor on his ship. And he went crazy and was locked in the front bedroom where barney sleeps for 20 years. When the Captain was out in the South Pacific they picked up a shipwrecked sailor. The guy they rescued bunked with the crazy brother. And the next morning the sailor was dead the brother had strangled him.

The crazy brother was sentenced to be keelhauled but he did not die was just permently brain damaged. And clawed around the windows for the rest of his life.

They realize from Ted (the guy the are renting the house from) that their neighbors wanted this cabin a lot but Barney and his parents ended up getting it. When Barney meets his neighbors he thinks that they are a little bit weird but his parents don't think that they are too bad of people in fact they sort of like them.

The island is off of one of the coasts by his house and few miles away.

When his neighbors find out about the island they want to go there right away but without Barney, but barney makes them think it is safer for him to be with them then not and insets that he has to come with them to explore the island too.

While on the island barney gets lost only to fide what he had set out to. Under some drift wood he finds a metal rusty old box and slips it into his pocket. When barney finally gets to look at it he opens the box and inside there is a stone. He dose not realize what it is till he turns it over and sees a face carved in the side of the rock.
