Sur une île au large des côtes irlandaises, les pêcheurs attendent le retour de Tim O'Connor, le fils du pêcheur Sean. Il est allé à Dublin il y a quelque temps pour acheter un bateau de pêche. Les habitants de l'île lui avaient donné de l'argent pour un acompte. Quand Tim écrit de Dublin qu’il a trouvé un homme qui l’aidera à acheter le bateau, Sean soupçonne qu’il s’appelle Mike O'Brien. Ce dernier a quitté l'île il y a plusieurs années et vit à Dublin. Il est considéré comme irresponsable et Sean craint qu'il arnaque Tim.
