After moving away from her childhood home on the remote island of Marado, South Korea, Jaeyoun finds herself plunged into a deep state of depression. Fearing she might do herself harm, her aunt, a lifelong free diver and fisherwoman known as a “Haenyeo,” invites Jaeyoun to return to her island roots. Jaeyoun travels back to visit her family and the all-female fishing community on Marado and to her surprise, finds a connection to nature and her ancestors that literally saves her life.
