The story unfolds around Miles Bissant, a young boy tasked with maintaining the lighthouse, as he navigates life in a small coastal community filled with unique characters and a sense of adventure.

novel introduces Miles, who performs his nightly duties at the lighthouse, revealing a blend of boyish wonder and the weight of responsibility.
