The film centres on Felix, a 12-year-old boy who has been living with his mother on the Magdalen Islands since his father's failure to return from a voyage to find treasure on the Island of Eternal Night; when his mother goes off on vacation and leaves him and his infant sister, Mia, in the care of their aunt, he enlists the help of lighthouse keeper Tom to travel to the island in search of his father. The film's French voice cast includes Karine Vanasse, Gabriel Lessard, Guy Nadon, Marc Labrèche, Catherine Proulx-Lemay, Éveline Gélinas, Louis Lacombe-Petrowski, Antoine Durand, Tristan Harvey, Kim Jalabert, Geneviève Bédard, Frédéric Desager, Jean-François Beaupré and Jérôme Boiteau, while its English voice cast includes Vanasse, Boiteau, Daniel Brochu, Vlasta Vrána, Holly Gauthier-Frankel, Angela Galuppo, Wyatt Bowen, Terrence Scammell, Richard M.

In advance of the film's release, children's author Édith Bourget published a novelization of the film.
