At the outbreak of World War I, Fay's isolated life on bleak, windswept Breaksea
Island takes a dramatic turn. As a lighthouse keeper's daughter, Fay knows
semaphore and Morse code and responds when the soldiers on the ships signal to
her. Soon, the soldiers are semaphoring messages for their loved ones, which Fay
then telegraphs on their behalf. Although they never meet, Fay eventually
becomes friends with one young soldier who has no family. After the soldiers
depart for the battlefields of Egypt and Gallipoli, Fay follows their fortunes
and continues her long-distance conversations with them through letters and
postcards. Drawing on archival material and interweaving fact with fiction,
Fay's tale is based on a true story and brings to life the hardships of those
left at home during the war.
