Premise
The southernmost tip of Patagonia, in Argentina near to the Straits of Magellan, is an interesting place, with some of the roughest seas in the world.
It's a good location for a resort for travelers. As such, a British corporation has purchased property to build an airport.
However, holding up plans is a stubborn Irish rancher who won't sell his land.
In order to fight the proposed plans, he fences in his land and at the same time fences in his two late-teenaged children.
Eva Logan (Jacqueline Lustig) is particularly frustrated at this event as it prevents any romantic options she has.
