Lucía is a young Madrid waitress who is devastated to hear of the disappearance of her lover Lorenzo. Hoping to flee her troubles, she seeks out a beautiful island paradise her missed lover often talked about. There she meets and befriends Carlos and Elena who are also refugees of personal tragedies. Unbeknownst to all of them, the three each have a connection to Lorenzo. Years previously, Elena had a spontaneous fling with Lorenzo on the same island on the beach. Nine months later, she bore his daughter, Luna, but unable to raise a child on her own, she enlisted the help of a nurse, Belén. In attempting to reconnect with the child he never knew, Lorenzo had a passionate affair with Belén, one which caused her to neglect Luna, with tragic results. As Lucía slowly learns these details, she recalls the book Lorenzo was writing just before his death, and soon the lines between fact and fiction begin to slip away.
