When a mysterious light appears in the supposedly deserted lighthouse, Bailey decides to investigate the truth behind the curse that locals claim has dragged countless ships to their doom.

Dusty Davis

Dusty Davis spots what looks like an unbeatable bargain—a used car for just six dollars—but soon discovers the catch: it has no engine at all. Undeterred, he decides to build a steam engine from salvaged materials in his basement, and with help from his friend Pinky, he gets the unconventional contraption running just in time for a rainstorm to strand countless cars around town. What starts as a questionable purchase becomes an unexpected business opportunity when Dusty realizes there's real money to be made helping stranded motorists.
