In 1944, wounded British pilot Hugo Langley parachutes into German-occupied Tuscany and is hidden in a ruined monastery by Sofia Bartoli. Their relationship deepens while soldiers and collaborators search the countryside, but a betrayal separates them and leaves Hugo’s wartime story unresolved.
Nearly thirty years later, Hugo’s estranged daughter Joanna finds an unopened letter addressed to Sofia after his death. She travels to Tuscany to deliver it and reconstruct his disappearance, uncovering a child, a murder and villagers who still fear what the old secret will reveal.
