They call themselves "las madres and las nenas," five women who have created a family based on friendship and blood ties. In 1975, Shirley and Ada meet fifteen-year-old Luz whose memory was wiped clean in a car accident. In 2017, in the Bronx, Luz's daughter, Marysol, longs to know more about her amnesiac mother. Along with Graciela, Ada and Shirley's daughter, the women travel to Puerto Rico hoping to learn more about Luz's early life. They're stranded when hurricane Maria devastates the island, and in its aftermath a long-buried secret blows their lives wide open.
