To this isolated island, where the supply boat comes once a season, Tom brings a young, bold, and loving wife, Isabel. Years later, after two miscarriages and one stillbirth, the grieving Isabel hears a baby's cries on the wind. A boat has washed up onshore carrying a dead man and a living baby. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTom, who keeps meticulous records and whose moral principles have withstood a horrific war, wants to report the man and infant immediately.
