Our protagonist is Sherman Bragbone (originally Sherman Toothrot), a slacker who lives an idle life on Pinty Island. Sherman has never been able to spend more than three weeks at sea — and yet, he thinks himself to be a mighty pirate. One day he receives a message in a bottle from his brother Herman (originally Herman Toothrot, the hermit from Monkey Island): Herman is in trouble, and only Sherman can rescue him! And in the process, he has to become the great man he believes himself to be.
The first demo was released in 2005, and in 2011, the second demo was made; there were no updates on the project since then so far.

The game provides examples of:
- Buried Treasure: In the first demo, Sherman has to find a hidden treasure in his garden in order to pay a debt to the local shopkeeper Dan.
- Key Under the Doormat: Played With: under his doormat Sherman finds one of the clues to the location of the buried treasure.
- Trash of the Titans: Judging by Sherman's commentary, the insides of his house look like this (though we are never directly shown what's inside his house).
