Reeling from tragedy, former jazz musician-turned-schoolteacher Adi answers a job listing offering a chance to save the world. The assignment: to spend five weeks alone on a tiny, isolated Pacific Island with the aim of preserving countless species from certain extinction. The threats to the once-Edenic island, Adi soon learns, aren't quite what his employers said they were--and, complicating things further, he discovers he's not alone on the island. Fearful for his own life, and for the fate of the island, Adi spends his sun-drenched days rooting out the true threat to Santa Flora and, by extension, the world.
