Tom wants the townspeople to respect him, but they don’t. They see him as weak and cowardly, which he is in many ways. However, Tom is determined to create a better life for his teenage son and turn the island into a tourist spot.
At first, he succeeds, as his plan works and tourists start visiting the island. But soon, things take a dark turn. Strange events begin to happen again after many years of peace, proving locals’ old stories might actually be true.
