Lipowo - a small, sleepy town in picturesque Kujawy. One day, in the middle of a close-knit community, Weronika Nowakowska - a writer looking for peace and escape from the life and troubles she left behind in the capital - comes to the town. Shortly after her arrival, tragic events take place in Lipowo - a sister from a local convent, in which vows of silence are in force, dies. The head of the local police, young and ambitious Daniel Podgórski, seeing the commitment of the new resident, decides on a very brave move - against all odds, he draws Weronika into the case. With each passing day, the woman begins to discover more secrets of the town. But in order to get to the truth, the writer must not only bring to light the deeply hidden secrets of the inhabitants of Lipowo, but also face her own. And above all, break the conspiracy of silence.
