Maia D'Apleiaz and her five sisters gather at their family home, Atlantis – a beautiful, secluded castle on the shores of Lake Geneva – when they learn that their beloved father, the mysterious billionaire they call Pa Salt, has died. Maia and her sisters were all adopted by Pa Salt when they were still babies.

With the sudden news of his death, shocking truths come to light, urging each of them to search for their true origins. Maia will travel to the other side of the world, to a crumbling mansion in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where she will begin piecing together her own story…

Eighty years ago, in the Belle Époque of Rio, in 1927, Isabella Bonifacio's father aspires to marry off his daughter into the ranks of the aristocracy. Meanwhile, architect Hitor da Silva Costa has taken on the task of erecting a statue that will be named Christ the Redeemer, and he will soon travel to Paris to find the right sculptor who can realize his vision.

Isabella – full of passion and a longing to experience the world – convinces her father to let her go with Hitor da Silva Costa and his family to Europe before she marries. There, in the studio of sculptor Paul Landowski and in the vibrant cafes of Montparnasse buzzing with life, she meets an ambitious young sculptor, Laurent Bruyère, and immediately realizes that her life will never be the same.
