Lucretia and her mother seek refuge on the secluded Candle Island, Maine, hoping to find solace from the lingering trauma of her father's death and the relentless attention of the media surrounding her renowned artist mother. The island's rugged beauty and the calming rhythm of the ocean provide a welcome change for Lucretia, who spends her summer immersed in painting, exploring the unfamiliar landscape, and nurturing an orphaned osprey chick. This quiet existence offers a temporary reprieve from their grief and the pressures of their former life.
However, Candle Island holds its own mysteries that soon begin to entangle Lucretia. A concealed room within their new home and an angry girl named Murdoch are the first strange things Lucretia discovers. She then becomes mesmerized by the enigmatic presence of a boy with a captivating voice, which pique sher curiosity and draws her into the island's hidden depths. Much like the powerful tides that shape the coastline, these secrets and new connections inevitably pull Lucretia into their current, challenging her to confront her own emotions and discover the strength of her own voice amidst loss, art, and the complexities of human relationships.
