Aboard the merchant ship Narcissus sailing from Bombay to London, a dying West Indian sailor named James Wait stirs both sympathy and suspicion among the crew. When a violent storm capsizes the ship and calm winds trap them at sea, tensions mount as some believe Wait himself is cursed. Conrad explores solidarity and self-interest within this floating microcosm of society, examining how humanitarian feelings can both unite and divide men facing the sea's indifferent power.
