Description

A group of restless teens swaps summer plans for a wild Atlantic adventure, hitching a ride on their trusty motorboat, the Dartaway. When Jerry’s family rents a seaside cottage, the boys trade their familiar dock for salty breezes, daring races, and the promise of hidden coves. Their camaraderie is tested by sudden squalls, a frantic whale chase, and a mysterious lighthouse that flickers with unanswered signals.

As the crew navigates storm‑tossed waters, they stumble upon an abandoned vessel and a puzzling “bath‑house mystery” that hints at secrets lurking on the shore. With quick wits, ingenious improvisation, and a dash of daring, the motor boys race against time to uncover what lies behind the lighthouse’s dim glow—while learning that true friendship can weather any gale. Listeners will feel the spray of the sea, the hum of the engine, and the thrill of a youthful quest for truth.
