A veteran of the Western Front of World War I, Tom Sherbourne, is working as a lighthouse keeper. He and his wife, Isabel, live on a remote island not far from the Australian coast.

One day, a small boat washes ashore with a baby, and Isabel convinces Tom not to tell the coast guard, but to instead take the baby in as their own. When the girl grows older, they meet a woman named Hannah, whose daughter disappeared into the sea at roughly the same time as Isabel and Tom found theirs.
