Since his parents’ death, Álex has been in constant trouble—until a judge sends him to do community service at The Garden of the Innocents nursing home. There, he meets Ninon, a fellow misfit visiting her grandmother, Juliette.
Soon, Álex senses something strange within the home—and the enigmatic director, Cadaval, seems to know too much about him. As Álex uncovers a fantastical world hidden behind its walls, one that echoes the realm from his other’s novels, he must uncover Cadaval’s link to that world and to his parents’ deaths. With Ninon and Juliette’s help, he learns that imagination may be the key to remembering who we truly are.
