Knowing she will have to confront the memories she's spent a lifetime trying to escape, Maria returns to her home town to meet a daughter full of questions and is shocked to come face to face with the one person who has haunted her dreams forever. Sara: When Sara finds herself whisked away from her life in New York half way around the world to live with an uncle she never knew she had, she instantly falls in love with the tiny village in the south of Spain.
