Sympatický, no rozporuplný hrdina Richard sa na svojich potulkách svetom zastaví aj v Bangkoku. Nestojí o vyšliapané turistické trasy, láka ho všetko nezvyčajné, nepoznané. Akoby zasiahol osud, Richard sa za zvláštnych okolností dozvie o tajomnej pláži na jednom z neprístupných ostrovov v Thajskom zálive. Rozhodne sa, že pláž stoj čo stoj nájde. Spolu s novými priateľmi, Étiennom a Françoise, sa vydá na cestu plnú takmer neprekonateľných prekážok a nástrah, pri ktorej musia siahnuť až na dno svojich fyzických a psychických síl.
