The story unfolds around the clandestine activities of a Polish Jew, named Captain Wolf, and a roving Micmac Indian as they engage in smuggling liquor along the Maine coast. Central to the plot is Pocket Island, a mysterious and eerie location that serves as a hideout in their illegal endeavors, embodying both danger and intrigue. At the start of the narrative, readers are introduced to the chance alliance of Captain Wolf and the Indian, who embark on a partnership to profit from the smuggling trade. The opening chapters vividly describe the island’s geography and its chilling history, hinting at ominous undertones.
