Conrad Labarde is a first-generation Basque fisherman who casts his nets in the treacherous waters of the Atlantic. He is a working-class man in a region of Long Island sharply divided between those who inhabit this isolated finger of land year-round and the weathly who claim it every summer. But in postwar America, the landscape is changing quickly. And lives too whill change -- affecting everyone in the community -- when Conrad's nets pull in the body of a beautiful young woman.
