A man who has spent his life refusing to get involved rescues a girl from a touring orchestra and hides with her on an empty island. Three strangers row ashore, and his lifelong detachment turns out to be no protection at all.

I only know that he who forms a tie is lost. The germ of corruption has entered into his soul.
Victory, Joseph Conrad
