Spain. A land of eternal passion and unceasing bloodshed. From
the vengeance of a pitiless tyrant, four women flee the sacred,
once-safe walls of a convent: LUCIA, the proud survivor harboring a
murderous secret from the savage clan wars of Sicily...GRACIELLA,
the beauty still unpurged of guilt from one reckless, youthful
sin...MEGAN, the orphan seeking perilous refuge in the arms of a
defiant Basque rebel...and TERESA, the believer haunted by a faith
that mocks her with silence. Leaving innocence but not hope behind,
they venture into an alien, dazzling world, where each will
encounter an unexpected destiny -- and the truth about herself.
