When Bea Hanlon follows her preacher husband Max to a remote island in the Pacific, she soon sees that their mission will bring anything but salvation... Advent Island in the South Pacific, with its coconut palms & thick green jungle, should be Eden for missionary Max & his young wife Bea. It is a place beyond the reaches of Bea's most fitful imaginings. It's not just the rats & the hordes of mosquitos & the weevils in the powdered milk. Past the confines of their stuffy little house, amidst the damp and the dust & the sweltering heat, rumours are spreading of devil chasers who roam the island on the hunt for evil spirits. And then there are the noises from the church at night. 
Yet, to the amusement of the locals & the bafflement of her husband, Bea gradually adapts to life on the island. But with the dreadful events heralded by the arrival of an unexpected, wildly irritating & always-humming house guest, Advent Island becomes a hostile place once again. And before long, trapped in the jungle & in the growing fever of her husband's insanity, Bea finds herself fighting tooth-and-nail for her freedom, & for her life.
