On a parched tropical island, a lone engineer arrives to construct a vital water source, but his quest leads him to a reclusive family, ostracized by the community for their unorthodox lifestyle.

The family's patriarch has a son chained in a pit as punishment for breaking customs, while his daughter is a shaman priestess and mistress of the mill's manager. The patriarch wants the engineer to marry his mentally challenged daughter.
