Plot

Raised in the harsh shadows of abuse, orphan Mike O'Conner escapes his tormented past and dives into the vibrant Chicago rock scene, only to be ensnared in the sinister web of his dubious companions' crimes. Despite his entanglement, his devoted sister Kate orchestrates his release and secures him a job as an aide to Adam Terrell, a renowned writer seeking solace in solitude at a remote lighthouse. In an unexpected twist of fate, the tranquility of the lighthouse is shattered as a mysterious murderer, Art Stoner, ruthlessly takes Adam's life, seizing his identity in the process. Art, a victim of his own past, is a traumatized soul birthed from the grim world of his prostitute mother. A silent witness to his mother's unspeakable occupation, he was subjected to brutal beatings whenever her 'clients' turned violent. Assuming Adam's persona, Art becomes an unlikely father figure to Mike, their relationship teetering between stern discipline and a strange camaraderie. However, as their pasts begin to resurface, the complex triangle turns toxic when 'Adam' is discovered not just as Mike's mentor, but also as Kate's illicit lover. The plot thickens, the tension rises, and the lighthouse becomes a stage for a dramatic unraveling of secrets, betrayals, and uneasy alliances.
