1995, Hawaii. After going on a yacht with his parents, seven-year-old Noah Flores falls overboard. When the surface of the water foams with shark fins, everyone freezes in horror - the baby is doomed. But a miracle happens - one of the sharks, carefully holding Noah in its mouth, delivers him to the side of the ship. This story becomes a family legend. Noah's family, who, like many island residents, suffered from the collapse of the sugar cane industry, considered the strange incident a sign of the favor of the Hawaiian gods. And later, when the boy showed special abilities, his family was finally convinced of this. However, over time, this divine grace causes the family to break up. Noah works as a paramedic in Portland. His older brother Dean studies at an elite college, where he was accepted because of his success in basketball. Kaui's younger sister goes to university on the mainland to find her own path away from family legends. But one day a tragic event returns the Flores to their home island...
