On a summer just like any other, a family’s perfect life is shattered forever in a sleepy seaside town near Rome. Miriam vows to tell no one – not her cold mother, her devastated aunt nor the police – what really happened the night before her cousin Betta’s body was found. A storm has washed away all evidence, and with no witnesses, the Ansaldo family and the memory of Betta are thrust into a world of public scrutiny. Without a thread of hope to pull them through their insurmountable grief, the foundations of their family threaten to fall apart.
