Katelyn is the central protagonist, a woman who returns to her former lighthouse home twenty years after witnessing her mother’s brutal attack there.

Father Hendry (played by Lawrence Dane) appears in Behind the Wall.
Father Hendry is a member of the Henderson Bay community who opposes the proposed redevelopment of the abandoned lighthouse. He tries to persuade the town council to veto the project, placing him on the side of those warning against reopening the site that Katelyn must investigate. Drew Cabot (played by James Thomas) appears in Behind the Wall.

Christopher Parks is Katelyn’s father and the lighthouse keeper who is arrested and convicted after Katelyn’s mother is found dying in the basement.
