A mysterious man washes ashore on a remote island with no memory of who he is or how he got there. As he attempts to piece together his past, he is drawn into a complex relationship with the island's sole inhabitants, a mother and daughter who hold secrets of their own. Their intertwined fates become a desperate fight for survival against unseen forces and their own buried truths.
