Synopsis: In the years after World War I, Tom Sherbourne, a young veteran, takes a job as lighthouse keeper on a remote island off the coast of Western Australia. As the island’s sole inhabitant, he finds comfort in the solitude of his surroundings. When he meets the Isabel Graysmark, on the mainland, Tom is immediately captivated by her, and they are soon married and living on the island. Their happiness is marred only by their inability to start a family, so when a rowboat with a dead man and infant girl mysteriously washes ashore, Isabel believes their prayers may have finally been answered. Tom is torn between reporting the lost child and pleasing the woman he loves, and against his better judgment, he agrees to let Isabel raise the child as their own, making a choice with devastating consequences.
