When gentleman scholar, Humphrey Van Weyden is picked up by a seal-hunting schooner after a ferryboat accident in San Francisco Bay, he’s renamed “Hump” and forced to perform a cabin boy’s menial work on the Ghost.

He must learn to struggle and fight to protect himself from a brutal crew. The Captain, Wolf Larson, is a fierce, highly intelligent man who rules over his ship and terrorizes the crew with the aid of his great physical strength. 

Later, Humphrey and another “rescued” captive escape the Ghost to find refuge on a lonely island. In inhospitable conditions, they must learn to provide for themselves without the comforts of human civilization. While sharing these challenges, they fall in love.

Meanwhile, Larsen’s crew has turned against him. He reaches their island and must face his deserved fate. Author Jack London uses Van Weyden's ordeal to explore powerful themes of morality, civilization and survival of the fittest.
