Her husband is always working and she feels isolated in this new and foreign life. In order to deal with her culture shock, she begins researching her family and soon becomes engrossed in a centuries-old mystery, so much that it seems to occupy every waking moment, and soon even her dreams. In the search for her family she also finds herself and nothing is as she had anticipated...
