Emma Olsen is confronting the last months of her life. She is suffering a terminal illness and knows that death is near. But Emma Olsen is a writer and she decides to dedicate her remaining time to finishing a novel that isn't exactly a novel but more of a first-person chronicle of the most important years of her life: her late adolescence. She writes to tell us a story of long-kept secrets. And so she returns to Faith, the tiny town in the middle of the American west where she was born; a place where you'd never expect anything interesting to happen but that hides a buried universe of lies and conflicts lived out by its few and unique inhabitants.
