Naples. A Virgin with a bruise on her cheek, said to work miracles. Around her move three women who never cross paths, yet share the same hidden wounds beneath the surface.

Giusy is a wheelchair user who never received the miracle she once hoped for. She became an atheist instead — sharp-tongued, free-spirited, and now an anthropologist specializing in Marian cults. Fabiana, a transgender woman, leads a devoted group of Virgin worshippers in one of Naples’ working-class neighborhoods. Then there’s Sue, a Korean pianist searching for a new sense of purpose while teaching music to disadvantaged children in a city far removed from everything she once knew.

Three women, each carrying private scars, each searching in her own way for the possibility of a miracle.
