The narrative teases a blend of adventure, survival, and personal relationships against the backdrop of a fierce maritime storm. At the start of the novel, the readers are introduced to the luxurious steamer "Sirdar" as it prepares to navigate potentially dangerous waters, with Lady Tozer and Iris Deane aboard. The atmosphere is initially light, filled with witty exchanges between characters, but tension rises when the ship faces a formidable typhoon.
