En route to the island, Joe meets a series of interesting characters in NYC and LA, then boards a yacht, captained by Patricia Graynamore. During the voyage Joe and Patricia survive disaster, fall in love, and finally arrive at the island where they face their destiny.

When he arrives at his father's house he finds it in ruins and is told that his father has been murdered by the same masked raiders menacing the city.
