Sent to the coastal town to stay with her free-spirited Aunt Maeve, Lily soon finds herself captivated by the legend of Elias Gray, an 18th-century explorer who left behind a mysterious artifact on a nearby island. With a passion for history and photography but lacking in self-confidence, Lily hesitates-until she meets Max Evans, a daring local teen with a knack for adventure.
