The Lighthouse Keeper’s Guide

The Lighthouse Keeper’s Guide

After losing his wife Claire, Max Harrison retreats into isolation as a lighthouse keeper, severing all community ties. When a mysterious dog washes ashore during a violent storm, Max reluctantly provides temporary shelter. But Beacon, as Max names him, proves to be no ordinary canine. With each passing day, Beacon guides Max back toward life through a series of encounters that gradually rebuild his shattered connections. As Max discovers Claire’s hidden research and forms an unexpected bond with bookshop owner Elaine, he learns the lighthouse’s true purpose isn’t isolation but connection. Together, they face threats to the historic lighthouse and experience both joy and heartbreak, ultimately discovering that like the lighthouse beam itself, life’s rhythm of light and darkness isn’t about opposites—but complementary states giving meaning to each other.
