Sjæle krydser tiden som skyer krydser himlen. På en strand på en fjerntliggende ø i Stillehavet støder den unge amerikaner Adam Ewing på en engelsk læge, der kravler rundt og leder efter tænder. Lægen mener at vide, at kannibalerne har holdt deres festmåltider netop her, og tænderne, som de har spyttet ud som kirsebærsten, vil han nu bruge til gebisser til den engelske adel. Adam Ewings Stillehavs-dagbog er den første af de seks fortællinger, der udgør David Mitchells storslåede "Skyatlas".
