1913. An old man named Sylvester Swann has devoted his life to caring for a lighthouse that for years has brought a light of hope to ships in distress. But soon it will be extinguished: there is no money to maintain Swann's Lighthouse, and the next storm will wipe it out. No one hears the keeper, and he finds himself alone in the face of the storm. There seems to be no escape...

2014. Maritime archaeologist Marie Adams finds money to fund the search for the infamous steamship Californian, but to do so she must raise from the bottom the remains of the Swann Lighthouse, rumored to have crashed into the sea a century ago. She teams up with Captain Julian Henry ... and they discover nothing of what they expected. To make matters worse, they're being pursued by treasure hunters. The search for the truth about the lighthouse's demise becomes dangerous.

When past and present collide, secrets buried at the bottom of the ocean begin to surface. Can Marie find the answers-and at what cost?
