Ness Harrow, a clerk for the Board of Lights, returns to the tidal island where her father kept the lighthouse, sent to sign it out of service. The light is dark, her father is dead, and six pages have been torn from his ledger. She has one night, cut off by the tide, to learn what those pages said and whether the light is worth keeping.
