The wind is blowing hard along the coast. Peter looks up at the sky. He does not fear the imminent storm. In fact, he feels hopeful, because the kitchen cupboards have been desperately empty these last few days. Whenever there's a storm, Peter and Grandpa hope a boat will sink so they can replenish their food stores and fill their bellies. But one day, a young girl survives the wreck. Nothing will ever be the same.
