Syracuse is a simple fisherman who catches a beautiful and mysterious woman in his trawler's nets. 
The woman seems to be dead, but then she comes alive before Syracuse's eyes and he thinks he may be 
seeing things. However, with the help of his ailing, yet irrepressible daughter, Annie, he comes to 
believe that the fantastical might be possible and that the woman (Ondine) might be a myth come true. 
Ondine and Syracuse fall passionately in love, but just as we think the fairytale might go on forever, 
the real world intercedes. Then, after a terrible car crash and the return of a dark and violent 
figure from Ondine's past, hope eventually prevails and a new beginning is presented to Syracuse, 
Ondine and Annie.
