A dancer is murdered on Spain’s Mediterranean coast, and within days 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 asked to take the case.

Inside the file, she discovers a detail she cannot ignore: the murder precisely replicates 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—officially 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.
