A mysterious stranger boards a ferry crossing from Cadzand to Ostend, finding welcome only among poor passengers while the wealthy scorn him.

Years later, a narrator visits a convent built on the site and experiences a haunting vision that challenges his understanding
of faith. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
