Nova Scotia, 1914: Only women and children—and one debilitated lighthouse keeper—are left in the village of Peggy’s Cove, anxiously waiting for the men to return from a perilous fishing expedition.
Until one night, when a stranger washes ashore: a blue-eyed man covered in sailor’s tattoos who seems to have lost his memory. Soon after, two men with guns arrive in search of a missing boat and its valuable cargo.
As a storm of violence threatens to overtake the village, five women bound together by a dark secret will risk everything to protect their home.
