Jack Lantern found himself shipwrecked in the middle of the vast sea, alone and without hope of rescue. With all his experience being on the water, he must now learn to survive on dry land. With nothing more than a compass and his long knife, Lantern begins to adapt to life in a tropical jungle. Shelter, food, weapons, those things came fairly easily to the determined sea captain, and while primitive, he lacked very little. Yet even paradise has its dangers. They came in the form of the inhabitants of his new island home, those who would not see his presence tolerantly. It got worse when one of their own abandoned them and was now looking to Jack for help.
