Having unexpectedly lost her husband and lacking the means to support herself, Josie DiSanti and her two daughters take refuge in the small town of Mill River, to live with Josie's aunt, Ivy. The sisters, Rose and Emily, are inseparable growing up - until a shocking tragedy tears them apart. Years later, Rose and Emily return to Mill River for the reading of their mother's will, where they learn that Josie would do anything to force their reconciliation: the sisters must move into neighbouring houses for the summer and work together to locate the key to Josie's safe deposit box, which contains their inheritance. And so, left with no choice, Rose and Emily reluctantly begin their search. But in a place known for its magic and miracles, little do they know that an even greater treasure awaits them . . .

Cela fait bientôt soixante ans que Mary McAllister vit seule, sans jamais sortir de sa luxueuse maison de marbre blanc, construite au sommet d’une colline surplombant la petite ville de Mill River. Ses liens avec le monde extérieur sont rares : quelques lettres, les visites d’un vieux prêtre et la fenêtre de sa chambre donnant sur la ville en contrebas. Pour la plupart des habitants de Mill River, la maison et son occupante restent un mystère. Trois nouveaux venus dans la petite ville – un policier, sa fille et son institutrice – vont s’intéresser à la vieille dame. Mais seul le père O’Brien connait l’histoire de Mary et le secret qui la maintient enfermée.
