It is 1832 as the USS Hayes sails the Indian Ocean, guided by its lord and master, Captain Gellins. Meantime a shipmate is wrongly accused of stealing and faces the fatal lash. Likewise, he is just one of many who have been accused of false charges: others who have already met their end at the gratings; all from the lies supplied to the captain by shipmate Penderghast. Who can tell what will happen if certain other shipmates take the law into their own hands to try and right this injustice.
And if the plot succeeds, what may follow?
The Voyage: Part I is the tale of a young sailor's journey as he becomes embroiled in events beyond his control and through an act of sacrifice ironically unleashes an ancient curse.
