Quando sua nonna Mariam muore, Katerina eredita un’antica scatola da spezie. Al suo interno, avvolti da un intenso profumo, trova delle lettere e un diario scritto in armeno. Katerina scopre così che la sua famiglia è stata devastata dalla tragedia armena del 1915. Non solo Mariam, ancora bambina, è stata esiliata dalla sua casa in Turchia e separata dall’amata famiglia, ma ha anche dovuto affrontare il terribile dolore per la perdita del primo amore. Inquieta per ciò che ha scoperto, Katerina vuole andare a fondo in quella storia. Decide allora di mettersi sulle tracce dell’amata nonna e intraprende un viaggio che la porterà dall’Inghilterra a Cipro e poi dall’altra parte del mondo, a New York. Sarà un tuffo nel passato, ma anche un modo, per Katerina, di liberarsi di ricordi dolorosi in cui è ancora intrappolata.
