On a warm spring night a young woman walks down the very middle of a provincial road, naked and covered in blood, caught in the headlights of a lorry. When she is found dead hours later at the foot of a multi-storey car park, she is identified as Clara Salvemini, eldest daughter of the most powerful family of builders in the area around Bari. Everyone calls it suicide. But is that what happened? What tied Clara to her father's business, and what role did her bond with her three siblings, above all with the moody, rebellious Michele, play in her death? Among the villas of the rich outskirts, a family teeters between splendour and disaster.
