The opening of the novel begins with Verslun waking on the wharf in Levuka, Fiji, where he overhears a conversation between a Maori man and a Fijian about a mysterious “white waterfall” and “Black Fernando’s hell.” Intrigued by their chant, he seeks answers to their riddles, which sets the stage for his impending adventure. Soon after, he meets Will Holman, who brings him the opportunity to join a scientific expedition aboard the yacht "The Waif". As the story progresses, Verslun encounters the Professor and his two daughters, Edith and Barbara, offering a glimpse into the complex relationships and budding tensions amid the expedition. With an air of mystery surrounding the fate of crew members and the intentions of their enigmatic partner, Leith, the narrative promises suspense and intrigue as the characters dive headfirst into the unknown.
