In 1869, alone, after her father and brother were killed in a shipwreck, 19 year old Maggie Care, walks to the Cornish village of Polsinney, to start a new life.

On a July evening in 1869, Maggie Care arrives footsore and weary in the small Cornish fishing village of Polsinney. Desperate to put behind her a dark and painful tragedy, she finds work and lodgings on the farm of Rachel Tallack, and comfort in the attentions of Rachel's fisherman son, Brice.
