action
The story takes place on the fictional Breton island of Ty Kern, which is located on the Breton coast. Marie, a young policewoman, returns to her homeland to marry her childhood sweetheart Christian Brehat. On Ty Kern, four families are linked by a secret from bygone times: the Kersaints, the Le Bihans, the Perecs and the Kermeurs. One day before Marie and Christian's wedding, strange things start to happen. Marie's bridal veil is suddenly smeared with blood, a dead seagull lies in it. Marie is plagued by bloody nightmares and the next morning she finds the body of her brother Gildas. In addition, one of the six menhirs on the cliff above the wreckers' bay begins to bleed. Marie begins to investigate on her own. It turns out that the blood that flowed from the menhir was Gildas' blood. Inspector Lucas Fersen is sent to the island to investigate the case. He encounters bitter resistance from the islanders and a series of mysterious deaths begins.
In the course of the events, a deep link between the actors emerges: Most of the murder victims played beach pirates as children on a stormy night 35 years ago and carelessly piloted a boat onto the cliffs of Molène. There were two brothers and their sister (Marie's birth mother) with their newborn baby on this boat. The children took the two badly injured robbers to a cave in the cliff, where they drowned in the tide. Her sister lay unconscious on the beach, next to her the recently born baby, which Pierric Le Bihan took. The young woman, regained consciousness, was able to save herself in the cliffs through a passage leading up to a stone table , but there she is hit with a stone on the head by Pierre-Marie de Kersaint, known as PM. Arthus de Kersaint later cuts her throat. The parents of those children find the booty of the raid, suppress it and build their existence on it.
Artus de Kersaint is the offspring of the aristocratic family that temporarily ruled the whole island, and he still mourns after that time. The leader of the local beach robbers was one of his ancestors, and he killed the wife of his eldest son in the style of a beach robber and without knowing it on that storm night, after she shared the escape boat with the escape boat following the bank robbery perpetrated by their brothers in Ireland was stranded on Ty Kern. As it turns out, Artus de Kersaint had had an affair with Yvonne Le Bihan several years earlier and fathered her daughter Gwénaëlle Le Bihan . When he learns of the child, he casts his beloved away. Gwen's son Ronan Le Bihan is thus the illegitimate grandson of Artus de Kersaint and is also in a love affair with Juliette de Kersaint , the legitimate granddaughter of Artus de Kersaint. Ronan with a heavy heart rejects Juliette on a false pretext when he learns of their mutual parentage, especially since Juliette is pregnant by him; however, she stands by their relationship and comes to him when she learns the real reason for Ronan's brusque behavior.
As she describes it, Yvonne Le Bihan “married an idiot” in revenge for the rejection and passed off the daughter conceived by Artus de Kersaint as his child. By blackmailing Artus de Kersaint, she raised the money for her porcelain factory. She dies under police supervision in the hospital after trying to kill her son Pierrick. Pierrick Le Bihan is the only (half) brother of Gwénaëlle Le Bihan who survived his childhood; Yvonne Le Bihan killed the other children of her husband because they were physically and mentally more disabled than Pierrick himself. The mentally and physically handicapped Pierrick Le Bihan turns out to be Marie's lifesaver, because he hid her from Arthus de Kersaint and brought the just-born child to her foster parents, the Kermeurs. This also began his mania for walking around with a baby doll, the cause of which, however, was not understood by those around him. In the present, he reveals the truth about Marie and her origin in a lucid moment, but his mother tries to prevent him from passing on his knowledge by attempting murder. Pierric is saved by the police and can pass on his knowledge under hypnosis.
The alleged Irishman Patrick Ryan , resident of the old lighthouse at Ty Kern, turns out to be not only Marie's mysterious protector, but also her birth father and the long-lost eldest son of Arthus de Kersaint. Ryan was imprisoned on the mainland for 35 years for the murder of a police officer and was therefore unable to come to Ty Kern with his wife and brothers after the robbery. He is probably also the killer together with "Stéphane Morineau", the local police officer. He also placed the blood that trickled down from the engravings on the menhirs on the days of the murder. After staging his death on an exploding boat in the meantime, he can continue his campaign of revenge up to the killing of his father and murderer of his wife, Artus de Kersaint. He also succeeds in including his younger brother Pierre-Marie de Kersaint, whom he despises, as an accomplice in the series of murders. Finally he stages his escape or his death a second time by jumping from the lighthouse into the raging sea and disappears.
Finally, the grandchildren of Artus de Kersaint meet in the port of the island: Juliette de Kersaint, Ronan Le Bihan and Marie Kermeur, the daughter of Artus de Kersaint's son Erwan alias Patrick Ryan. Marie takes the promise of caring for the disabled Pierric Le Bihan from the teenagers Juliette and Ronan and says goodbye to their foster parents, the Kermeurs, in whom she sees their actual parents, in order to start a new life on the mainland with Lucas Fersen.
