Where there was fire, ashes remain . . .

Costa Rica, 1968. A deadly fire rips through the American Fruit Company's most lucrative banana plantation, destroying all evidence of a massive cover-up. That same night, Teresa Cepeda Valverde’s mother is murdered, and her husband vanishes into the darkness.

Decades later, as a hurricane twists through the streets of Barrio Ávila, Teresa's estranged daughter Lyra begins to piece together the mysteries lost in the blaze. In her desire to find the truth of her own family's rupture, she uncovers a web of devastating betrayals, stoked by machismo, jealousy and greed.
