SOME TRUTHS REPAIR NOTHING. THEY ONLY DESTROY WHAT WAS STILL STANDING.

On her deathbed in French Guiana, Juliette Ferrer confesses to her daughter what she has hidden for thirty-two years: one night in March 1981, in the nursery of a clinic outside Paris, she switched the identity bracelets of two newborns.

Two children went home to the wrong families. They are grown men now. They know nothing.

Stéphanie promised to find them.

What she doesn't know is that at every door she knocks on, someone has been there before her. A water-damaged register. A witness who suddenly can't remember. An old woman who loses her mind at exactly the wrong moment. And she doesn't know - not yet - that the truth she's chasing isn't hidden in some stranger's family. It's sleeping beside her.

Against her stands a very old man, a genealogist who has spent fifty years untangling other people's bloodlines. He wants no money and no revenge. He only wants to stop her from speaking. And he may be right.
