The boy died during a holiday, in the water, before anyone could reach him. His sister Vanessa and his closest friend André were drawn together by it, first as friends, then as lovers, and stayed together while their families broke up around them. In New Zealand, far from Rio, Vanessa reconsiders her brother's death and its effect on her parents, and at a relationship with André weighed down by guilt and things unsaid.
