Description It is the 1920s, when Jack Power meets Agnes Mary Taylor and her 6 year old son, Henry; he has also met his match. Chancing upon her one stormy night while they were both stranded by the weather in the RAG AND FAMISH pub, he proposes immediately. Laid up from the sea life because of love and a broken leg. Jack takes Agnes and Henry to the light as he takes up his new position as Assistant Keeper on a remote lighthouse. Jack tells us the story of his life as he tends the lamp in his lighthouse.
