"I missed you, Lola!"

It has been ten years since Dana last visited her grandmother, Lola Paula, in the province.

Desperate to see the grandmother she has missed for so long, Dana begs her father, Grant, to let her visit. But with the school year not yet over and their finances too tight to afford the trip, Grant refuses.

All Dana wants is to spend time with her beloved grandmother again.

Then, somehow, her wish comes true.

Grant finally allows Dana to visit Lola Paula in the province.

At first, everything seems perfect. The peaceful countryside, her grandmother's warm welcome, and the happiness of finally being together make Dana believe that this is exactly where she is meant to be.

But after a few weeks, something terrible happens.

Suddenly, Dana finds herself questioning everything she sees, everything she hears, and everything she thought she knew about her grandmother.

And when she discovers a truth that should have remained hidden, it will haunt her for the rest of her life.

"Why are you so selfish, Lola Paula?! You didn't even think about your granddaughter! What punishment will she be given?"
