In a waterfront saloon near South Street, Chris Christopherson, captain of a coal barge, learns that the daughter he left in Minnesota as a child is coming to see him. Anna arrives worn and guarded, and on the barge between Provincetown and Boston she finds an unexpected peace until a shipwrecked Irish stoker, Mat Burke, falls in love with her and her past comes out.
