A dancer is murdered on Spain's Mediterranean coast, and the country is convinced a suspect is guilty.
When his defense attorney withdraws amid intense media scrutiny, Daniela Vasconi-a partner at a prestigious Madrid law firm-is unexpectedly called in to take the case.
Reviewing the case file, she discovers a detail she cannot ignore: the murder mirrors a homicide committed in the 1980s-the same crime that marked her childhood.
As the investigation takes her to Benidorm, each new piece of evidence and every witness statement draws her closer to a truth she has spent decades avoiding. The shadow of a killer long believed dead falls once more across her life.
Defending the accused is no longer just a legal strategy. It is a confrontation with the past she tried to bury-one that will extend far beyond the courtroom.
