Somewhere between Jutland, Friesland, and Zeeland, on a small, windswept island, the Sander family’s fate is inextricably linked to that of the North Sea.
Hanne Sander, the captain’s wife, raised three children there alone. Ryckmer, the eldest, has just lost his seaman’s license; he is haunted by the ghosts of his whaler ancestors and awaits the storm of the century. Eske, the rebellious middle child, fears tourists more than the churning waves. Henrik, the youngest, is the first man in the family to have never dreamed of going to sea—and the only one at peace with himself.
In this world torn between tradition and modernity, each tries, as best they can, to find their place, until the day a tragedy shatters the fragile balance of the Sanders—and the entire community.
