The narrator's friend William Legrand is a poor scion of a formerly wealthy family who leaves New Orleans and travels to Sullivan's Island, near Charleston, South Carolina. The small island is marsh-like and filled with myrtle shrubs, and on the western end of the island lie some small buildings for summer residents. Legrand builds himself a hut within a myrtle thicket on the eastern end. The narrator meets and befriends Legrand here, and he is fascinated by Legrand's intelligence, mood swings, and misanthropy. Legrand enjoys fishing and exploring, and he is always accompanied by his black servant Jupiter, who had been freed by their family but who insists on following and protecting Legrand.
