After her mother's funeral, Rebecca is sorting through her empty apartment and accidentally discovers an envelope postmarked in Cornwall. Inside is a desperate plea from her elderly aunt, Olivia: get the old house in order, or the old woman will be evicted. Utterly lost after her mother's death, Rebecca decides to travel to Cornwall.

Once there, she's in for an unpleasant surprise: Olivia has been hospitalized, and she can only be discharged after the house is renovated! Although timid, Rebecca nonetheless sets out determinedly. Everything hinders her: a lack of money, a foul-mouthed parrot, and constantly disgruntled neighbors... However, as layer after layer of paint, plaster, and centuries-old dirt peels off the walls, Rebecca uncovers secrets buried for over seventy years. Secrets of a time when war raged outside, but blood boiled in young Olivia's veins, and love and passion drowned out fear... While renovating, Rebecca reconstructs Olivia's life story brick by brick, rebuilding herself in the process.
