Three hundred years ago Pirate Captain Nathan Quinn’s ship the Tempest went
down in a storm off the coast of Maine. Floating on a piece of the Tempest,
he sees the young Henry Jones struggling and saves him before succumbing to
the cold water. Instead of the hellfire he expects, he is cursed to stand
near the lighthouse for three hundred years, if he doesn’t touch the water
he’ll be allowed to sail the seas for eternity, if he touches the water he
will be dragged down to hell.
In the present while researching her genealogy, Miranda Kent visited the
Logan Point Lighthouse and knew a sense of coming home. Using the savings
she and her husband had put aside before his death, she purchases the
Lighthouse to turn the light keeper’s home into a bed and breakfast. The
lure of it being haunted by the ghost of a pirate, she hopes will bring in
the tourist.
