故事主要是围绕一艘名叫邦蒂的船展开。邦蒂于1789年离开波特毛斯港口，前往南美，此次的任务就是前往大溪地某座岛屿，从那里得到一种像面包一样的水果品种，并把它运回英国。故事的主人公弗莱切·克里斯坦是船上的大副。他性格刚烈，很不满威廉姆·布莱斯船长的作风。而船长是一个极度刚愎自用的人，他听不仅下属们的建议和意见，反倒是百般折磨他们，就连喝水都被当作是一种惩罚：如果不服从他，就不给水喝。刚开始大家总是默默忍耐，敢怒不敢言。但是布莱斯船长不仅没有收敛，反而变本加厉地加重处罚措施，最后甚至用鞭子抽打那些犯了错的船员。整艘船上的人都再也无法忍受了。于是在弗莱切·克里斯坦的带领和组织下，他们进行叛变，把船长流放，随后自己在大溪地的一个岛屿上住了一段时间，过着天堂一般的生活。但是毕竟纸包不住火，丑闻最终还是被抖了出来。这些船员们会面临什么样的审判和处罚呢？

American psychologist John Holden arrives in London to participate in a symposium aiming to expose witchcraft and devil-worship as a fraud, with attention centered on a cult run by a Julian Karswell. Debarking his plane, Holden learns that the symposium leader, Henry Harrington, has suddenly died and he is now in charge. What only the audience knows is that Harrington was clearly killed by a demon, apparently summoned by Karswell to avenge his persecution. Despite both threatening and cajoling behavior by Karswell, Holden determines to proceed, though the only cult member willing to talk about his experiences is in a prison psychiatric ward, catatonic after allegedly killing yet another cult member. However, Harrington's niece, Joanna, believes, based on her uncle's notes, that Karswell may indeed have some satanic powers derived from an ancient tome in an obscure language which he has been able to translate, and attempts to warn the skeptic Holden. Karswell's mother also attempts to warn Holden off. However, the thing which begins to most get to Holden are the occasional, but mounting, sensory and mental disturbances he begins experiencing after an encounter with Karswell, and the discovery that, during this encounter, Karswell secretly slipped a slip of parchment with a curse in runic symbols on it into Holden's belongings, a parchment identical to one Harrington recorded having had passed to him in a similar manner shortly before his death... [N.B. Holden at no point stays at the Karswell estate].
