Oozing with raw, untamed sexuality, Miranda, the dark-eyed daughter of an unscrupulous Athenian businessman, finds herself in Missolonghi, far away from her friends. There, as the owner of a profitable fish-farming facility, Miranda's father exploits the best parts of the lagoon, and also the impoverished local fishermen who can only dream of establishing a cooperative. And, before long, Miranda sets her sights on seducing Christos, a righteous and incorruptible young fisherman, putting in jeopardy his relationship with his beautiful, proud, and honest fiancée, Asimoula. Will her dangerous passion for the unattainable object of her desire prevail over reason?
