Richard, un giovane americano come tanti di oggi, arriva, zaino in spalla, a Bangkok con pochi soldi e parecchi interrogativi. Prende alloggio in un albergo di terza categoria, e qui conosce una coppia di francesi, Françoise e il suo compagno Etienne. Nella stanza accanto alla sua incontra anche un altro uomo, un certo Daffy, che si definisce un viaggiatore segnato dal sole e dalle droghe. Su un foglio Richard vede disegnata una mappa: indica un'isola incontaminata che Daffy dice di voler raggiungere. Richard rimane colpito e, dopo averci pensato, capisce che deve unirsi a lui. Va per dirglielo ma lo trova riverso per terra con le vene tagliate. Più che mai Richard si convince di dover proseguire. Coinvolge i due francesi e insieme partono per un viaggio verso l'ignoto.
