Present day. Logroño Manuela, a rational lawyer, receives a call that will change everything: Palmira, her grandmother, supposedly dead for more than thirty years, wants to meet up with her. Incredulous but captivated, she accepts the appointment, unaware that this decision will drag her into the heart of a European conspiracy buried in her family history. Decades ago, between Europe and Puerto Rico, Palmira, a woman ahead of her time, fled with her family to America after committing a desperate act in the Spanish post-war period. In Puerto Rico, the glamour of parties and social circles hides a life marked by submission to a cruel husband. But her indomitable spirit takes her back to Spain, where she will be caught up in a web of espionage, resistance and forbidden alliances, making dangerous decisions that will change her destiny forever. Spies, betrayals and a legacy that changes everything. Between mansions full of secrets and dark corridors of power, Palmira's diaries reveal a story of courage, sacrifice and decisions that left indelible scars.
