This "gorgeous" and "extremely powerful" lighthouse film odyssey across New England, explores the region's final act to save these American sentinels that once defined a nation, now deemed excess, where individuals fight to preserve their structures and recount their folklore before their lights go dim.

The fascinating history of Owls Head Light is combined with an array of human interest stores including personal stories by two people who lived at the light. Marla Roberts describes her life growing up in the 50s with her family at the light, and Paul Dilger describes his experiences as a Coast Guardsman with his wife living at the light in 2003.
