The opening of the novel establishes Captain Brunt's backstory, highlighting his childhood and early experiences at sea, especially his harrowing events in Jamaica. After surviving a violent encounter with a group of runaway slaves who kill his companions, Brunt finds himself rescued by a man named Cuffey, who bears allegiance to a community of escaped slaves.
