During the wild and stormy December of 1900, three lighthouse keepers vanished without trace from the remote Eilean Mor lighthouse, located on an inhospitable rocky island on the north west coast of Scotland. With food left uneaten on the table, coats still hanging on their hooks, cryptic journal entries scattered throughout the compound and a lack of obvious reasons for their disappearance, their story remains unsolved to this day.
