Bella Rawlins is a high school student in NYC when she flies to a remote town on the coast of northern Italy to reunite with her exchange student over the summer. As she spends midsummer season entranced by Italian sonnets and budding feelings she can't help but notice peculiar secrets embedded in the town. Locals are disappearing only to be found floating along the coast - corroded by the sea. Rumours spiral. Tall tales are brought to light. Love is a death note.
