Set in the remote village of Santa Chionia, Calabria, in 1960, the story follows Francesca Loftfield, a young American tasked with opening a nursery school amidst challenging conditions. As she navigates the lack of infrastructure, she becomes entangled in a mystery surrounding a recently uncovered skeleton linked to a local family's tragedy. Driven by compassion, Francesca's quest for answers leads her to confront unsettling truths about the village and its residents, raising questions about the past and the silence surrounding it.
