In 1980, the New Hebrides was approaching independence from the joint governments of Great Britain and France. A group of tribal leaders from the northern islands, enlisted the help of Mike Oliver, a man who had written a book entitled " A New Constitution for a New Country," to assist them in presenting their people with a constitution that would accomodate their customs while assuring the world that the emerging country respected personal and private property rights of all of its inhabitants-citizens of not.
For a number of reasons Oliver sent in his place his attorney, Thomas Eck, to assist in drafting a constitution that was to be voted upon by the all the people. At first, the government-sponsored opposition was merely amused at this rag-tag group that would purport to challenge their authority. But after a groundswell of support made it clear that 80% of the people would vot in favor of the tribal version, strange things began to happen. A small plane, supposed to be carrying Eck was brutally machine-gunned as it landed on one of the country's eighty islands. All aboard died.
After narrowly escaping attempts to capture him, Eck finally was spirited away by a private plane, only to crash on a neighboring island, half of which was cannibal. Then the real ordeal began.
