The Legend of the Pioneers told the tale of how 27 youth crew fought for their survival against hijackers aboard the Young Pioneer, sailing from Melbourne to Sydney through the Tasmanian Islands. Now comes the legend of another ship, the Jayakarta, which had sailed with the hijackers before they pursued the youth but ran aground, leaving its hundred passengers stranded. A fortnight later, only two remained, and when one executes the other in front of a rescue helicopter, Maxwell Winter becomes a hot topic for the reporter, Dominic O'Connell, who seeks the truth about what really happened out there. Winter tells how finding food and water was the least of their problems when there were mutineers in their midst.
