Na odlehlém ostrově Rosevear mladá dívka Mira, jako jedna ze sedmi členů své skupiny, pravidelně vyplouvá k vrakům lodí, aby je společně vyplenili. Její rolí je zachránit přeživší, pokud tedy nějací jsou. Miře její práce nevadí, nikdy totiž nepociťuje chlad oceánu a vlny jí promlouvají až do nitra duše. Obyvatelé ostrova Rosevear ale nejsou ochotní přiznat pravdu – sami totiž zapalují světelné signály, aby lodě nalákali na skalnaté útesy. Když na ně však drábové nastraží past, aby jednou provždy ukončili tohle plenění, podaří se jim zatknout Miřina otce. V zoufalé snaze zachránit ho před oprátkou, se Mira rozhodne uzavřít dohodu se záhadným přeživším ze ztroskotané lodi, který ovšem skrývá za svýma dechberoucíma očima nejedno tajemství. Mira se tak vydává na dobrodružnou výpravu, aby odhalila rodinné tajemství ukryté v hlubinách moře. Na záchranu svých milovaných má však pouhých devět dní a jediné, co ví jistě, je skutečnost, že moře dává, ale i bere.
