Sabrina Wells lives with her surf obsessed hippy Aunt Clara on the sands of Malibu beach. Sabrina never much cared for the water after her parent's ship sunk in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico. A few forced surfing lessons and the indulgence of salt water strengthens her hatred for the water. Until one day of surf 'fun' a shiny orb caught in a wave catches Sabrina's attention.
