On a stormy November night in 1848, a ship carrying more than a hundred Irish emigrants ran aground twenty miles off the coast of Maine. Many were saved, but some were not — including a young girl who died crying out the name of her brother.In the present day, the artist Oisin Mac Dara lives in self-imposed exile on Tiranogue — the small island where the shipwrecked Irish settled. The past is Oisin’s curse, as memories of the twin sister who died tragically when he was a boy haunt him still.Then on a quiet All Hallows‘ Eve, a restless spirit is beckoned into his home by a candle flickering in the window: the ghost of the girl whose brief life ended on Tiranogue’s shore more than a century earlier. In Oisin’s house she seeks comfort and warmth, and a chance at the life that was denied her so long ago.For a lonely man chained by painful memories, nothing will ever be the same again.
