Una magica vacanza al mare può cambiare tutto… Marci James è single, anche se si potrebbe dire che sia felicemente sposata con il suo lavoro. Sono quasi cinque anni che non si prende una vacanza e avrebbe volentieri continuato così se solo il suo padrino non le avesse chiesto aiuto per fare l'inventario di un piccolo negozio di antiquariato sulla costiera amalfitana. Una volta arrivata a destinazione, Marci si rende conto dell'enormità del compito: ad attenderla ci sono casse e casse di oggetti antichi, che sembrano nascondere ognuno una storia. Per fortuna Nico, la sua affascinante guida, è pronto ad aiutarla. E poi, dopo le estenuanti giornate di lavoro, a ricompensare Marci di tutta la fatica ci sono i panorami mozzafiato di Positano, resi ancora più allettanti e romantici dalla compagnia di Nico, che conosce la costiera come il palmo della sua mano… Ma il negozio nasconde dei segreti. Segreti in grado di far crollare tutte le certezze di Marci e che potrebbero persino rivelarsi pericolosi.
