Synopsis

An isolated lighthouse, powered solely by the energy of wind, water, and sun, stands on a rock in the middle of the ocean. It is home to a 10-year-old boy named Benjamin, who has been living there alone since his parents disappeared a year ago. Despite his young age, Benjamin is a science prodigy, who has used his knowledge and resourcefulness to keep the lighthouse running and make it his own. He has made friends with the local seagulls and seals, who keep him company. But when a terrible storm hits the lighthouse, Benjamin’s life takes an unexpected turn.

A teenage girl named Ava crash-lands her plane at the lighthouse during the storm. She is searching for her mother who was lost at sea.
