In Portsmouth, we follow Kurt Sanger, a German submariner who comes ashore on Portsmouth Island, located just south of Ocracoke. Kurt's assignment is to find out what happened to the U-85 with its Enigma code machine that the Germans did not want to fall into Allied hands. While pretending to be a British officer who survived the sinking of the Bedfordshire, a British submarine hunter, Kurt meets a local girl and falls in love. Through the story of what happens to the couple during and after World War II, we learn how wounds heal and how a beautiful place becomes imprinted on the soul.
