Mi Ja and Yeon Suk, two young Korean girls from Jeju Island, have been friends since childhood, even though they come from different backgrounds. As they grow up, they start working at the diving cooperative in their home village, which is run by Young-suk's mother. Together, they learn the ancient art of haenyeo, a sea creature hunter, which is full of adventure and danger. But the dark depths of the ocean are not the only threat: Jeju Island's strategic location makes it a bone of contention for powerful nations, and the heroines' personal experiences become intertwined with the larger history of the twentieth century.
