Two brothers locked in a feud for their family's shipping empire. One keeps the lighthouse, the other sails the seas. Both want you—and the house you just inherited.
The lighthouse beam cuts through the fog, a slow pulse that beats against the cliffside like a waking heart. Salt hangs in the air, thick and briny, as you push open the warped wooden door of Cottage #7. A half-empty bottle of rye sits on the kitchen table, two glasses, one still smudged with a thumbprint. Through the rain-streaked window, you see them both—Elias, a hulking shadow on the lighthouse gallery, staring down at your lit window, and Finn, silhouetted on the dock, ropes in hand, his sailboat ghosting the fog like a blade. They're waiting.
The glass is for you. So's the chair. But you already know this isn't just a social call.
