Forty years ago, the island was paradise. Now, it's haunted by shadows of the past.
When Juno arrives at the breathtaking Greek island of Inios, she has one purpose: to find the father she's never met.
But he isn't there, and nothing is as she expected. As whispers follow her every step, Juno is convinced something terrible happened all those years ago when her parents fell in love.
Desperate for answers, Juno knows she can't leave the island until her family secret that has been hidden for decades is finally uncovered.
Little does she know how far someone will go to keep it buried...
