Cornovaglia, Inghilterra, fine dell'anno 1972. Una barca approda al faro dello Scoglio della Fanciulla, un isolotto remoto a miglia di distanza dalla costa, per dare il cambio ai custodi. Il primo guardiano Arthur Black, il primo assistente William "Bill" Walker e il secondo assistente Vincent Bourne sono svaniti nel nulla. La porta d'ingresso del faro è chiusa dall'interno. Gli orologi in soggiorno e in cucina sono fermi alle 8,45. La tavola è preparata per un pasto che non è mai stato consumato. E la torre è vuota.

On dit que la mer protège ses secrets. On dit que personne ne saura jamais ce qu'il s'est passé au phare du Maiden Rock. Au cœur de l'hiver 1972, à plusieurs milles de la côte de Cornouailles, une barque brave la mer pour rejoindre le phare du Maiden Rock. À son bord, se trouve la relève tant attendue par les gardiens. Pourtant, quand elle accoste enfin, personne ne vient à sa rencontre. Le phare est vide. La porte d'entrée est verrouillée de l'intérieur, les deux horloges sont arrêtées à la même heure et le registre météo décrit une tempête qui n'a pas eu lieu.

In der Silvesternacht verschwinden vor der Küste Cornwalls drei Männer spurlos von einem Leuchtturm. Die Tür ist von innen verschlossen. Der zum Abendessen gedeckte Tisch ist unberührt. Die Uhren sind stehengeblieben. Zurück bleiben drei Frauen, die auch zwei Jahrzehnte später von dem rätselhaften Geschehen verfolgt werden. Die Tragödie hätte Helen, Jenny und Michelle zusammenbringen sollen, hat sie aber auseinandergerissen. Als sie zum ersten Mal ihre Seite der Geschichte erzählen, kommt ein Leben voller Entbehrungen zutage - des monatelangen Getrenntseins, des Sehnens und Hoffens.
