Synopsis

The Vanishing

In a remote lighthouse off the coast of Scotland, three lighthouse keepers arrive for their six-week shift. Thomas, James, and Donald are tasked with maintaining the light and ensuring the safety of passing ships.

One stormy night, a mysterious stranger washes ashore, carrying a locked chest. As tensions rise among the three men, they discover the chest contains a fortune in gold. Paranoia and greed soon consume them, leading to a series of tragic events.

When a passing ship finally arrives to relieve them of their duties, only one lighthouse keeper remains. The mystery of what happened to the other two men becomes the subject of speculation and legend.

The Vanishing is a gripping tale of isolation, madness, and the dark depths of human nature.
