In 1992, Sarah Lingate is found dead below the cliffs of Capri, leaving behind her three-year-old daughter, Helen. Despite suspicions that the old-money Lingates are involved, Sarah’s death is ruled an accident. And every year, the family returns to prove it’s true. But on the 30th anniversary, the Lingates arrive at the villa to find the necklace Sarah was wearing the night she died. Haunted by the specter of that night, the family unity is pushed to a breaking point. Enlisting the help of Lorna Moreno, a family assistant, Helen plots their escape from the paranoid, insular family. But when Lorna disappears and the investigation into Sarah’s death is reopened, Helen has to confront the fact that everyone who was on Capri 30 years ago remains a suspect. Even Lorna, her closest ally, may not be who she seems.
