Phillip Enright, a young American boy living on a Caribbean island during World War II, leaves the war-ridden island with his mother for the safety of the US. While on the journey, their ship is sunk, and Phillip is knocked unconscious. When he awakes, he discovers he is alone on a raft save for a cat and an old West Indian deckhand named Timothy. Since his head injury has left him blind, Phillip suddenly finds himself at the mercy of the kind stranger as they carve out a life on a small deserted cay. Phillip must learn to overcome his racial prejudice and his blindness in order to learn to survive.
