The story revolves around the lives of two women, Mary and Agnes, who are from different social backgrounds but share a common desire for love and adventure. Mary is a wealthy heiress who is bored with her privileged life and seeks excitement through her love affairs with men. Agnes, on the other hand, is a poor seamstress who dreams of a better life and finds solace in her daydreams about the sea and the ships that sail on it. Their paths cross when Mary hires Agnes to make her a dress for a ball. The two women strike up an unlikely friendship and soon find themselves embarking on a journey together aboard a ship bound for South America. As they sail across the ocean, they encounter a cast of characters, including a handsome sailor named Jack, who awakens Mary's desire for true love, and a mysterious woman named Madame de la Tour, who seems to hold the key to Agnes's dreams. As the voyage progresses, Mary and Agnes face challenges and obstacles that test their friendship and force them to confront their deepest desires. Will they find what they are looking for, or will their dreams remain just out of reach?
