Through winding bayous south of New Orleans lies a world of fishermen, marsh and Gulf water, and on Last Island a fashionable resort that a hurricane destroyed in 1856. A little girl is pulled from the wreckage by a Spanish fisherman and his wife and raised in their village, while a doctor in the city mourns a family lost to the storm.
