In the middle of a nuclear war, a group of boys was being evacuated to an unnamed destination. Their plane crashed and was pulled out to sea, leaving the boys stranded on an island. Chapter one starts with Ralph meeting Piggy. The two boys make their way out of the jungle and onto the beach. Ralph is not much interested in Piggy and dos not answer him when Piggy asks his name. Piggy tells Ralph his nickname, and Ralph starts to laugh, which hurt Piggy.
On the beach, Ralph finds a large platform of pink granite, overlooking a long poll that had formed in the beach. After swimming a while, Ralph sees a conch, which Piggy identifies as a valuable shell that can be blown as a trumpet. Piggy tells Ralph to blow the shell, using it to summon the other boys from the jungle. Soon boys between ages 6 and 12 come running out of the jungle onto the beach. Last to arrive are Jack and the choirboys. The boys discuss their situation and vote on a chief, choosing Ralph over Jack. Jack stays in charge of the choirboys, naming them hunters. As the boys identify themselves, Ralph reveals Piggy´s nickname before piggy can tell his real name.
