| Summary: | In the late 1800s, a brother and sister are orphaned in an isolated cove on Newfoundland's northern coastline. Their home is a stretch of rocky shore governed by the feral ocean, by a relentless pendulum of abundance and scarcity. With nothing but the family's boat and the little knowledge passed on haphazardly by their mother and father, they survive years of meager catches and storms and ravaging illness. It is their fierce loyalty to each other that motivates and sustains them. But as seasons pass and they wade deeper into the mystery of their own natures, even that loyalty will be tested. |
