Ambroise, the respected lighthouse keeper on Devil’s Eye Island off the coast of Brittany, is no stranger to storms in either his professional or his private life. But in recent times he has found simple happiness with a pretty English woman and her daughter Betty, who have taken refuge on the island to escape a painful past. And then in September 1987 the teenager disappears.

A month later, a storm of unprecedented violence batters the Brittany coastline and washes an amnesiac woman ashore at the foot of the lighthouse.

Such is the setting for a tense drama of vengeance and madness played out in isolation, whose central and solitary figure is a man trying to come to terms with a terrible sense of guilt.
