The story is centered on a group of passengers aboard the ship "Pandora", drawing together themes of interpersonal relationships, deception, marital conflict, and the moral consequences of betrayal and love. Main characters include Miss Vere, a talented actress; Harold Greenwood, a conceited passenger; Iris Harland, a woman hiding her identity; and her estranged husband, Godfrey Harland, whose duplicity and criminal past drive the central suspense. The novel focuses on emotional struggles and looming revelations as the characters near the end of their voyage. The opening of the novel immediately immerses the reader in the vibrant life aboard the "Pandora", beginning with preparations for amateur theatricals led by Miss Vere. Character interactions are quickly established: the clever and warm-hearted Miss Vere supports the ostracized Harold Greenwood, who foolishly misinterprets her kindness as romantic interest, setting him up for humiliation. The focus then shifts to the secretive and tense relationships among other passengers, particularly Iris (travelling under an assumed name) and her husband Godfrey Harland, whose intentions to marry another woman are overheard by undercover Iris. The early chapters also provide a vivid depiction of life aboard ship, the strained dynamics between Godfrey and Iris as she confronts his betrayal, and the inner turmoil faced by those wronged. The stage is set for a dramatic unmasking—both literal and figurative—as longstanding secrets threaten to erupt amidst the enclosed, restless world of the voyage.
