Under the scorching French sun, a tense homecoming unearths a long-buried family secret

Elodie was beautiful. Elodie was smart. Elodie was manipulative. Elodie is dead.

When Sylvie receives a letter calling her back to her crumbling family home in Provence, she knows she has to go. In the middle of a sweltering summer marked by unusual fires across the countryside, she returns to La Reverie with her youngest daughter Emma in tow.

In every corner of the house, Sylvie can't escape the spectre of Elodie, her first child. Elodie with the golden hair. Elodie, who knew exactly how to get what she wanted. Elodie, whose death the villagers still whisper about.

As the fires creep even closer towards the villa, it's clear to Sylvie that something isn't right at La Reverie. Because there's something that Sylvie hasn't admitted about what happened to Elodie ten summers ago . . .
