Eleven-year-old Idris Limpet, living with his family in the once noble but now evil and corrupt island country of Lyonesse, finds his life taking a dramatic turn when, after a near-drowning incident, he is accused of being allied to the feared sea monsters and is rescued from a death sentence by a mysterious and fearsome stranger.

Shipwrecked on a tropical island, members of the Darling family find themselves surrounded by burglers, unsavory real estate developers, and a wild boy.
