This vintage novel uses a violent hurricane (named Jane) hitting Florida as the backdrop to examine human nature. As the tropical storm rages outside, a diverse group of characters is trapped together indoors. The extreme stress and isolation drive the characters to their breaking points, causing hidden tensions, affairs, and raw motivations to violently surface. It explores the classic literary theme that one's true nature is completely exposed when disaster strikes.
