The story begins with a group of friends going on a boat ride, where they encounter an old man who warns them about a monster on the island. The group disbelieves the old man and decides to explore the island. They find a ghost town and, while trying to escape from a monster, they get trapped in a building.
One of the friends, Daniel, sees a monster through a keyhole, but another friend, Hosa, doesn't see anything. As they try to escape, a monster breaks through the door and starts attacking them. The group tries to run away, but the villagers, who are revealed to be a cult, stop them.
The cult leader says that the monster is a sacrifice to keep the villagers safe. The monster attacks and kills Daniel and Stephen. The remaining friends, Hosa and Jay, are taken to a prison cell. Hosa writes a warning in his journal, telling people not to come to the island.
To escape, Hosa and Jay plan to jump off a ledge into the ocean. They successfully push their captors off the ledge and jump into the ocean themselves. The story ends with the journal being left on the last page, and the narrator deciding to investigate the island further, despite the danger.
