Den Sommer verbringen sie seit Jahren in ihrem kleinen Haus am Meer. Aber als Betta nachts auf dem Weg zu einem Strandfest ums Leben kommt, ändert sich alles: der einst so harmonische Zusammenhalt der Familie bekommt Risse und niemand ahnt, welches Geheimnis Bettas Cousine Miriam belastet.

Als eines Tages Dolores, eine junge amerikanische Geigenbauerin, in der Tür steht, verliebt sich Leo stürmisch in sie.
