Faber is a German spy who passes information to the Nazis from London. He doesn't hesitate to coldly kill everyone suspecting his activity. At the end of WWII, Faber is ordered to come back to Berlin. As he tries to reach the submarine that waits for him near the Scottish coast, his boat is shipwrecked. Luckily, Faber reaches a small island whose sole inhabitants are an English family and the lighthouse keeper.

Faber and Lucy, whose husband is a crippled, will fall in love but when the young woman finally understands the real activity of Faber, she will have to fight for her life while the storm prevents the police from coming to help her.
