THE LIGHTKEEPER

Seamus, a lighthouse keeper in 1920s Ireland, is tethered to a mournful past that he cannot bear to leave behind, his elaborate rituals keeping him at a distance from the outside world as he awaits the Each-Uisce to take him. Gradually, his despondency begins to crack when three lives intersect with his own: a mysterious American widow, a hard-headed priest, and Seamus' dedicated housekeeper.
