Bride of the Storm

In the wake of a devastating maritime disaster off the rugged coast of the Dutch East Indies, a young American girl named Faith Fitzhugh and her dying mother are cast upon the jagged shores of a remote lighthouse island. With her final breath, Faith’s mother reveals a secret that transforms the child from a helpless waif into a target: she is the sole heiress to a massive fortune. What follows is a decades-long psychological and physical imprisonment under the watchful eyes of the lighthouse keepers, the Kroon family. Jacob and his son Piet, driven by a predatory greed, orchestrate a plan to keep the wealth within their grasp by forcing Faith into a marriage with Hans, Piet’s mentally disabled son. As the isolation of the island rots the sanity of her captors, Faith’s only hope arrives in the form of Dick Wayne, an American sailor. The tension of years of domestic abuse and hidden wealth culminates in a violent, fire-purged finale where the sins of the Kroons are finally incinerated, leaving Faith to find her way back to the world she was stolen from.
