Plot Summary

Meredith (Miranda Otto), an unmarried woman in her thirties, arrives on the remote lighthouse island South Solitary as an unpaid companion to her elderly uncle (Barry Otto), the new head lighthouse keeper. Bad weather and misadventure leave Meredith marooned on the island with only the gruff and shy Keeper Fleet (Marton Csokas), a veteran very much damaged by his war experience. Against all odds a tender, faltering courtship ensues.
