The book describes the events surrounding the wreck of the British naval vessel, H.M. Sloop Osprey, off the coast of New Zealand in 1843. The crew of the Osprey were forced to abandon ship and establish a camp on the island, enduring harsh conditions and hostile encounters with the Maori people. The book details the crew's struggles to survive and their eventual march across the island to safety.
