There's a curse on a remote fishing island off the coast of Nova Scotia that has haunted the place since the days of the Vikings. Every fifty years, the fish disappear and the ocean demands its payment, its justice, its sacrifice. It's an unspeakable tradition that some believe must be stopped, and caught in the middle of it all is a young woman who can tempt the spirit of the sea.
Kirsten Dunst and Lynn Redgrave star in this powerful allegory that weaves the past and present into a rich, dramatic tapestry of life.
