A young journalist searches for a woman, Moraima (now 36), who was given up for adoption when she was two years old and whose family has known nothing about her since.
In the process of investigating in a remote area of the Dominican Republic where children being put up for adoption is common, she finds other cases that plunge her into a roller coaster of emotions.
The long and complicated investigation leads her to a town, El Seybo, where she will make many discoveries.
