In the quiet New England harbor of Greenport, the aftermath of a violent storm has left the docks glistening under a clear sky.

His stories of distant seas and keen eye for danger make him the town’s living lighthouse.

Sixteen‑year‑old Jack Holden, quick with a grin, watches the old captain and dreams of the catch that might still be waiting beneath the waves. The missing vessel, later known as the Sea‑Lark, becomes the focus of whispered speculation and an adventure that pulls the whole community together. As rumors swirl, Jack and the townsfolk prepare to set out, armed with hope, humor, and a hint of dread.

Listeners will be swept into a tale of coastal life, riddles hidden in the surf, and the relentless pull of the ocean. From creaking docks to looming gales, the story balances light‑hearted banter with a genuine mystery, inviting you to feel the salty air and join the search for answers.
