A moving saga of family, secrets, and lost siblings, set on the Italian coast.

Elinor Greene has settled into her inherited cottage on the beautiful Italian coast with her Italian fiancé Tonio, planning their wedding and living the sweet life and looking ahead, thanks to her once-estranged sister's gift of life.

The future looks tranquil and happy until the arrival of their mother, Betsy, who just received a cancer diagnosis and is seeking alternative treatment. The wedding will have to wait as the sisters rally around their ailing mother.

Elinor discovers that Betsy is obsessing over their late father's illegitimate son-known on adoption papers only as "Baby Boy" and given away as an infant. Elinor and sister Saffron decide that no good can come of Betsy's idea to find Baby Boy.

What if their lost half-brother is a thief or a murderer? While they argue, "Baby Boy" finds them. Daniel Perdue has had a hard young life with an abusive father, escaping to the streets and falling in with a crew of petty criminals. He discovers that his family of origin has become rich, so he goes to Italy to see if he can get his share. Disguising himself as a handyman, Daniel observes them and finds himself yearnoing to belong.

But as Daniel is about to take a risk and reveal his identity, his vengeful ex-partners catch up to him. Now, his very existence endangers the family he longs to join.
