Young Fiona (Courtney) is sent to live with her grandparents in a small Irish fishing village. Through a careless word, she learns the local legend, which is also a family secret – one of her family has married the mythical selkie. The selkie is a seal-like creature capable of appearing in human form. Her baby brother, missing since washing out to sea in a cradle, is still very much on the minds of Fiona and her family, but rarely mentioned. Could the selkies have rescued him? She sees a nude little boy on the abandoned isle of Roan Inish, where her family once lived, and begins trying to unravel the secrets of her family and its own mythologies.
