Year 1916. Marie, a young French woman of Algerian origin, married to a Spanish military officer, settles with her family in Tetouan. Enchanted by her new home—a long-abandoned mansion with a beautiful garden dominated by the shadow of a large lemon tree—she soon discovers that a terrible mystery lies hidden beneath its roots.

What happened in that house before she arrived? Who could have buried bones beneath the lemon tree? Is everyone in danger? Marie will not rest until she uncovers the answers, navigating a city reluctant to reveal the secrets of its inhabitants.
