Cabin Boy

Nathaniel Mayweather receives an invitation from his father to join a luxurious cruise aboard *The Queen Catherine*. Excited about the lavish lifestyle that awaits him, Nathaniel prepares for the trip, expecting to enjoy all the privilege that comes with it.

On his way to the harbor, Nathaniel irritates the limousine driver, prompting him to leave without Nathaniel. This embarrassing incident forces Nathaniel to abandon his air of superiority and travel to the ship on foot, an unexpected challenge for his privileged lifestyle.

While trekking on foot, Nathaniel stumbles upon a charming fishing village. There, he encounters Kenny, the clumsy first mate of *The Filthy Whore*, unintentionally boarding the wrong vessel amidst his confusion.

The following morning, Captain Greybar storms into Nathaniel's quarters with bad news: their voyage back to land has been indefinitely delayed. This revelation clouds Nathaniel's excitement and thrusts him into a predicament.

Determined to escape, Nathaniel tries to persuade local fishermen to change their course to Hawaii. Eventually, only Kenny is convinced enough to join him on an ill-fated and whimsical journey, which begins their chaotic escapade.

Nathaniel and Kenny find themselves ensnared in a bizarre locale known as Hell's Bucket, famous for its strange and perilous events. A sudden, violent storm tragically claims Kenny's life, leaving Nathaniel feeling both guilty and stranded.

With Kenny gone, Captain Greybar must now rely on Nathaniel for various tasks. To earn his way back to Hawaii, Greybar assigns Nathaniel the challenge of pulling himself on a makeshift raft for an entire week, testing his character dramatically.

As days pass, Nathaniel faces dire challenges of survival, suffering from dwindling supplies and mounting despair. His sanity begins to slip as he hallucinates about Kenny's ghost and becomes disturbed by an absurd, tobacco-spitting cupcake.

After a harrowing near-death experience in the ocean, Nathaniel is unexpectedly rescued by Chocki. Chocki is an enigmatic shark-man evidently descended from a Viking, who provides Nathaniel with a new ally in his quest for survival.

As they approach their destination, Nathaniel becomes enamored with Trina, a captivating woman swimming nearby. Despite his infatuation, Trina consistently rebuffs his attempts to woo her, leading Nathaniel to ponder his circumstances.

The group finds themselves stranded on an uncharted island, which forces Nathaniel to confront his identity and personal values. In this new environment, he begins to recognize the flaws in his previous snobbish behavior.

Encouraged by Greybar and Skunk, Nathaniel seeks the wisdom of Calli, a mystical being with six arms and cerulean skin. His encounter with Calli sparks a journey of self-discovery, leading him to embrace new experiences and boost his self-confidence.

After his transformations, Nathaniel meets Trina once again, and their chemistry ignites a blossoming romance. This relationship helps Nathaniel grow emotionally, marking a significant change in his character.

As tensions rise, Calli’s husband Mulligan returns to confront Nathaniel about his wife's perceived infidelity. In a moment of impending doom, Nathaniel prepares to confess, hoping to avert a disaster when Mulligan's rage becomes palpable.

After the tumultuous events, Nathaniel bids farewell to his companions who refuse an offer to join him at his father's hotel. Reflecting on his journey, he begins to shed his former pretentiousness and sets off in search of Trina, realizing he belongs among those he once judged.
