August 26, 2010, 15-year-old Sarah disappears in Avetrana, a sun-scorched town on the outskirts of Puglia near the sea. The whole town is in turmoil, especially her cousin, Sabrina, who was waiting for her at her home on via Deledda to go to the beach together. It looks like an innocuous disappearance, but it is not. While everyone is looking for her, Sarah has vanished into nothing. They find her at the bottom of a well.
