During the summers of her childhood, Lourdes was sent to a small town that promised peace and family. But behind that façade hid the abuse of the respected local police chief, her uncle by marriage. Years later, when she dares to speak out, she must face not only her abuser and a community that blames her for breaking the silence, but also a slow and hostile judicial system that demands she become the perfect victim.
