But when the bodies of three unidentified men wash up on the beach, the witnesses are faced with an impossible decision: report the discovery and open up the island to grisly inquiries, or conceal the terrible truth?

But after they dispose of the evidence, their act of deception continues to haunt them, bringing waves of suspicion and misfortune to the island.
