A captain, now in his 60s, has been raising a girl since she was six on his anchored fishing vessel. He plans to marry her on her 17th birthday. The captain makes a living by bringing fishermen on board and using his bow and arrows to predict the future. He also uses these skills to protect the girl from sexual assault. They live peacefully until a teenage student visits the ship and the girl develops feelings for him. The teenager discovers the girl was abducted at six and decides to rescue her, returning her to her parents.
