Островок у северного побережья новой Шотландии - это всего лишь клочок земли, торчащий из вод Атлантики, куда попасть можно только морем, и только с опытным лоцманом, способным провести судно через мели, особенно в летний шторм. Посёлок там совсем небольшой: есть маяк и церковь, которой гордятся все жители, построенной на их сбережения. Их фермы не приносят большого дохода, но в рыбный сезон всё приходит в движение, а гавань заполняется лодками и оживает. Именно сюда «на край земли» прибывает молодой доктор Роберт Ричардсон. Он добр и готов помогать всем, даже тем, у кого нет денег. Однажды он волею судьбы, оказывается на ферме господина Блэка МакДональда, где знакомится с глухонемой с детства дочерью фермера - Белиндой, девушкой милой, но не знающей языка глухих.
