One day, when Nicolas dives into the sea, he thinks he sees a boy at the bottom. His mother dismisses his observation, but the feeling that something is terribly wrong with the island has taken root in Nicolas. What happens to the young boys who are taken to the island's hospital? What will happen when he himself is moved there?
