After twelve-year-old Cedar's father and brother are killed in an accident, she seeks distraction at a theater festival. There she befriends Leo, who introduces her to legends surrounding a famous local actress's mysterious death. Their investigation is compelling, but the strongest impact comes from the characters' personal struggles and honest interactions, which keep the story feeling authentic right up to the thoughtful conclusion.
