Ten years have gone by since Elena's six-year-old son has disappeared. The last thing she heard from him was a phone call saying that he was lost on a beach in France and couldn't find his father.

Nowadays, Elena lives on this same beach, and manages a seaside café. She is finally beginning to emerge from this tragic episode when she meets a French teenager who strongly reminds her of her lost son. The two of them will embark on a relationship which will sow chaos and distrust around them.
