Fantastisk fortælling om en familie gennem et turbulent århundrede på en lille ø på kanten af Europa.
På den lillebitte ø Castellamare ud for Sicilien hjælper lægen Amedeo Esposito to børn til verden i løbet af den samme nat – det ene barn er hans kones, det andet hans elskerindes. En skandale uden lige i det lille samfund, og Amedeo må opgive at praktisere som læge.
I håb om at skabe sig et nyt liv på øen overtager Amedeo den lukkede bar Huset ved Nattens Ende. En beslutning der får store konsekvenser for Amedeo og hans efterkommere, som kommer til at kæmpe for barens overlevelse, efterhånden som det 20. århundredes store begivenheder, når ud til den lille ø på Europas yderste kant.
