Over 100 years later, her daughters, Olalla and Ofelia struggle to keep the family from attention and harm. But when Olalla, yearning for normalcy, runs away, elopes, and subsequently murders her husband, the entire family is put in jeopardy.

Will it be enough to keep her from committing another act of murder?
