On a remote and unsettling island, two keepers find themselves trapped in a fierce storm that threatens to plunge their monotonous routine into chaos. The story focuses on Thomas, a veteran lighthouse keeper with a dark and troubled past, and his new partner, a young man named Greg. Initially, their relationship seems cordial, with Greg eager to learn from Thomas's experience. However, over time, small tensions begin to arise between them, fueled by the lighthouse's solitude and the island's isolation.
With each passing day, the storm becomes not only more intense but so do the paranoias and secrets. Greg increasingly feels disconnected from his partner, while Thomas grapples with the ghosts of his past that resurface in his moments of vulnerability. The atmosphere grows ever more intense, with the sea raging and nature itself seeming to attack its occasional inhabitants.
The hostile environment serves as a catalyst for both characters to confront their fears and the despair of the life they have been condemned to. The film takes the viewer on a haunting journey through madness, guilt, and redemption, set against a backdrop that feels as claustrophobic as it is hypnotic. Elements of psychological horror intertwine with human moments of connection and betrayal, leading us to a climax that questions how far human desperation can go.
