The captain takes no chances with his fishing vessel. Seafaring superstitions must be respected: no change, no whistling to call up the wind, no cats, and no women. So when the crew rescues a girl mysteriously abandoned at sea, the captain allows her on board with reluctance. The girl's presence actually seems to enhance the Good Companion's luck, but the captain is adamant that she must go.

And in his last desperate attempts to save the Good Companion, the captain sees a vision that challenges his every belief. Could he have turned away the only benevolent force powerful enough to save him now?
