When investigative journalist Lillian Johnson wakes up at the hospital, speaking a language that has been extinct for 2000 years, and then falls into a coma, her family desperately searches for answers. They discover Lillian was speaking the ancient Etruscan language. The message she relayed serves as a catalyst for her father to seek the answer Lillian wanted her parents to know. Lillian's father, Doug, who recently completed a prison sentence for money laundering, embarks on a journey, following in his daughter's footsteps, and speaking to people that she interacted with years earlier in her role as an investigative journalist. Each person describes Lillian as a heroine intent on uncovering the truth and protecting those around her. But each answer learned generates more questions. In the process, Doug learns that special moments in their father-daughter relationship later on had a positive impact on Lillian as she faced dangerous peril. Doug traverses the globe, traveling to four different continents as he discovers that his daughter unwrapped a global mystery that has touched the lives of millions of people worldwide, including some in Doug's own life.
