Cora is the daughter of a prominent Hamburg shipping family - but she must flee her old life and finds herself, from one day to the next, a governess in the seaside resort of Norderney.
During her very first week, she and her pupil Emmi are caught in a sea emergency during an excursion. The North Sea is unpredictable, and the ebb tide pulls their rowboat far out onto the open ocean!
Day laborer Onnen simply cannot comprehend the ignorance of these resort guests ... They have no respect for the sea and its tides! When young Emmi and her governess Cora require a perilous rescue operation, he has little desire to guide the two around the island. Needing money desperately, however, he takes the job anyway.

With each passing day, Cora and Onnen grow closer. But Onnen is guarded by a past on his home island of Borkum that he keeps strictly locked away. And Cora has people back in Hamburg who are desperately trying to bring her back. That must never happen. No one can ever know who Cora really is - or what she has done …
