Synopsis

Fresh off a divorce, April Pearce arrives in Provence to photograph its hidden places for a travel magazine. But on her first night in a lavender field, she accidentally snaps a teenager running in the distance covered in blood. When she
inquires about him in the local village, no one wants to talk. They don’t like April and she can’t figure out why.

As she witnesses other disturbing events, her concern for the teen grows, but the more she investigates, the more she’s threatened and her work vandalized. Then she meets some wealthy celebrities who may or may not help her. As April
struggles to stand up for what’s right, she in turn reveals the shameful secret the village has kept hidden for years.
