The Boxcar Children are spending the summer in an enormous New England farmhouse. Near the house there is an old woodshed that holds a surprising secret that dates from the Revolutionary War.

A mysterious woman, a dog barking every night at midnight, and a puzzling note in the sand all add up to a mysterious summer in a lighthouse.

Based on actual events that happened during World War II when 61,000 Allied POWs were forced by the Japanese to build the Thailand-Burma Railway - better known to the soldiers as the "Railway of Death". This is the story of a Scottish regiment forced to help construct the infamous railway and how they had to fight to survive and ultimately forgive their brutal captors.
