Eva lost the two people she loved most, her mother and her sister, and grew up in an institution from the age of six. Years later her husband's death is the occasion for her to return to her island and meet people and places from her childhood again. Her only concern is to learn what really happened to her little sister before she vanished from the face of the earth. In a place of wild beauty that has become inhospitable, where dead birds wash up on the beach, ravens fly over cliffs and gorges, children disappear mysteriously and locals know but do not speak, Eva tries to put the pieces together and finally learn the truth.
