In a remote South Pacific island community, an infant boy named Tama arrives unexpectedly aboard a canoe, washed ashore by a storm. Grateful for this apparent gift from the heavens, the tribal chief adopts him and prepares him as his successor. However, when challenges befall their sheltered society, Tama finds himself ostracized and cast out to live with an impoverished single mother and her father, who is a heavy drinker.Despite Mahana's less-than-ideal appearance by societal standards, Tama comes to view her as his true companion. As he matures into a young man, Tama vows to build a vessel and set sail in search of a better life so that he can return for Mahana and provide a future they both desire. When fate leads him to the wealthy trader Johnny Lingo's island, Tama dedicates years of service in hopes of learning the skills needed to make his dream come true.Throughout his journey with Johnny Lingo, Tama uncovers life lessons about determination, perseverance, and the power of true love amidst adversity. As he strives to honor his promise to Mahana, Tama comes to understand the complexities of the human heart and discovers that the bonds of friendship can transcend even the harshest of circumstances.
