Davis Harwell is a meticulous man whose life has grown comfortably dull. But when he nods off at the wheel and wakes up a full hour later with no memory of what happened to him, he is presented with a tantalizing mystery. Why does he have visions of a lighthouse, a row of cottages, and a beautiful woman he's never met before?
Based on the 1947 New Yorker short story by Robert M. Coates, this mystery drama screened at many film festivals and showcases an award-winning performance by Peter Jacobson (House, The Americans, Fear the Walking Dead, Star Wars: Ahsoka) and features Shannyn Sossamon (A Knight’s Tale, Wayward Pines). The film took home the Grand Jury Prize at the Whidbey Island Film Festival.
