After an accident ends her career as a ballet soloist with the National Dance Company, 22-year-old Maya Rivet finds herself alone and abandoned by her vindictive grandmother who raised her after her mother abandoned her. When she discovers several vintage photos in an old music box, Maya travels to Sorrento, Italy in search of the man she suspects is her birth father. There, she meets handsome and fascinating 29-year-old Lucas Velasco, who fled Madrid years ago to escape his toxic family.

But he found a community that welcomed him with open arms and created for himself a beautifully quiet and carefree life. Seeing the opportunity to share that warmth with Maya, who has nowhere to go, he takes her into his home, and what starts as an uplifting friendship blossoms into love. But when Lucas discovers the secrets that Maya has been keeping from him, their love is tested to the limit, and when both return to Madrid, the turmoil of family ties and conflict tear them apart. Only when they can resolve their family traumas, can they begin to find their way back to each other.
