But when Pia discovers a bundle of money and men's clothing  buried on the outskirts of town, she has an uncomfortable feeling that  things are about to change. Is it connected to the foreigner Joachim, a new  arrival in town? Or to the ghosts in her own past? As Pia and Joachim grow closer, Pia can see he has secrets. The widow Barnes, one of Joachim's nursing charges, also has secrets, and they're coming to the surface. As these three misfits come together, their world starts to change in ways  that they could never have expected."--Provided by publisher.
