The story

In 1964, eight-year-old Allen Bauer and his family are taking a boat tour at Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

Since no one else saw the girl, he comes to believe that the encounter was a near-death hallucination.

When his motorboat restarts, Allen falls into the sea and is knocked unconscious; his wallet drops onto the coral below.
