<p>For fifty years， Andres Yasin has carried a grudge against J.T. Bunker. Now， Bunker， eighty-two years old and dying of cancer， wants to tell his side of a story， a story of his affair with Andres's mother. As a child Andres knew Bunker as the &quot;Captain of the Sleepers&quot;-so called because he transported the bodies of those who had died off the island， but wished to be buried at home.
