What fate awaited these convicted men? The sea whispers their names. Beneath its surface are hidden dark rocks, drowning fantasies. And beyond the swell, the lightly eaten lighthouse stands monastic and majestic.
Cornwall, 1972. A ship arrives at a remote lighthouse, a mile offshore, carrying supplies for lighthouse keepers. But no one is there. The entrance to the lighthouse is locked from the inside. The table is set. The chief's weather diary speaks of a storm blowing around the lighthouse - as the skies were clear all week. In the living room and kitchen, the clocks have stopped. They show all eight and forty five.
Two decades later a writer wants to know what really happened. He visits the wives of the missing men, so that he can reach the truth. Their narratives, however, are full of omissions, gaps and contradictions. Gradually the Deadly truths are revealed and the surface comes to the surface. An insidious shadow spreads over the rock…
Inspired by real events. A story about isolation and peace, reality and illusion, but also about the light that must be turned on when everything else is swallowed by darkness…
