L'histoire se déroule en Irlande vers la fin des années 1980. Ben, son père Conor et sa mère Bronagh (Bruna dans la version française) vivent heureux dans un phare. Bruna apprend à Ben toutes sortes de légendes et de chansons traditionnelles, y compris la légende du géant Mac Lir, si triste qu'il pleura tout un océan avant d'être changé en pierre par sa mère qui voulait l'apaiser. Une nuit, Bruna donne à Ben un coquillage en spirale que l'on peut utiliser pour écouter le bruit de la mer ou bien pour jouer de la musique. Mais la même nuit, Bruna, sur le point d'accoucher, quitte le phare et disparaît, laissant derrière elle sa fille, Saoirse (Maïna dans la version française). Ben avait promis à sa mère d'être le meilleur grand frère du monde, mais, quelques années après, les deux enfants ne s'entendent pas bien. Conor, encore très affligé par la disparition de sa femme, chouchoute Saoirse et Ben en est jaloux. Il se console en jouant avec Cú (Joe dans la version française), un gros chien poilu et affectueux. Quant à Saoirse (Maïna), c'est une petite fille particulière, car elle est muette depuis sa naissance.
