A resourceful young woman notices a disabled amphibious plane and pursues its mystery, combining beachside observation with daring small-boat excursions. She enlists friends, researches locations, and undertakes a nocturnal voyage to the dunes, preparing with charts, provisions, and a borrowed craft. Encounters escalate from near-shipwreck and shanghaiing to clandestine searches of coastal wreckage, tunnels, and tomblike hideouts. The narrative follows episodic chapters that blend youthful adventure, investigation, and perilous outdoor action as clues gradually reveal the plane's secrets.
