After the First World War, Tom, who wanted to stay away from the smoke, came to a remote island in Australia, lived in isolation with his beautiful young wife Isabel, and started working as a lighthouse keeper. Life on the island is uneventful, and their only regret is that they cannot give birth to their own children. For this reason, Isabel was heartbroken. By chance, she found a dead man and a living baby on a boat that washed up on the island. Tom takes his job as a lighthouse keeper seriously and responsibly. He wants to report the discovery of the dead man and the baby to his superiors, but at this time, Isabel has already held the little baby in her arms and is reluctant to let go. On the one hand, Tom loves his wife deeply, but on the other hand, he cannot escape the guilt about his work. He acquiesces to Isabel's behavior with difficulty. However, when the child was 2 years old, Tom and Isabel returned to a small inland town and unexpectedly met the biological mother who was frantically looking for the child...
