Valencia, Spain: October 1957 - After a long hot summer, Guardia Civil officers Jose Morales Ruiz and Fermin Belasco Ibarra have had enough of their lives. Sick of dealing with lowlifes and those left powerless under Franco's ruthless dictatorship, the friends devise a complex system of stealing babies, to be sent away to paying families. But as the October rains fall, the dry Valencian streets fill with muddy water, and only greed and self-preservation will survive... It's 2010, and Luna Montgomery is busier than ever. With the mystery of her murdered grandfather solved, she reluctantly prepares to be the bride in Spain's 'wedding of the year'. But four more bodies lie hidden at Escondrijo, Luna's farm in the Valencian mountains. Her fiance, bullfighter Cayetano Beltran Morales, is not eager to have his name brought up in a post-civil war burial excavation. When Cayetano's grandfather Jose, an evil Franco supporter, starts to push his ideals on Luna, her decision to join the Beltran family comes under scrutiny. The Tour de France is fast approaching, and Luna's position as a bike mechanic on Valencia's new cycling team begins to come under pressure. When an 'accident' occurs at Escondrijo, lives hang in the balance as more of Spain's ghosts come to life and tell the story of a flood in 1957..."
