Captain Jack Sparrow is caught up in another tangled
web of supernatural intrigue. Although the curse of the Black Pearl has been
lifted, an even more terrifying threat looms over its captain and scurvy crew:
it turns out that Jack owes a blood debt to the legendary Davy Jones, Ruler of
the Ocean Depths, who captains the ghostly Flying Dutchman, which no other ship
can match in speed and stealth. Unless the ever-crafty Jack figures a cunning
way out of this Faustian pact, he will be cursed to an afterlife of eternal
servitude and damnation in the service of Jones. This startling development
interrupts the wedding plans of Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann, who once again
find themselves thrust into Jacks misadventures, leading to escalating
confrontations with sea monsters, very unfriendly islanders, flamboyant
soothsayer Tia Dalma and even the mysterious appearance of Wills long-lost
father, Bootstrap Bill. Meanwhile, ruthless pirate hunter Lord Cutler Beckett of
the East India Trading Company sets his sights on retrieving the fabled "Dead
Mans Chest." According to legend, whoever possesses the Dead Mans Chest gains
control of Davy Jones, and Beckett intends to use this awesome power to destroy
every last Pirate of the Caribbean once and for all. For times are changing on
the high seas, with businessmen and bureaucrats becoming the true pirates--and
freewheeling, fun-loving buccaneers like Jack and his crew threatened with
extinction.
