Don Matteo welcomes in the rectory the little Ines, a six-year-old girl who lives in Spoleto with her grandmother who can no longer take care of her. Sofia, on the other hand, comes to terms with an event bigger than her and that will bind her inextricably to Jordi, a classmate marginalized by everyone. Meanwhile, after serving six years in prison, Sergio La Cava, a charming and mysterious thirty-year-old with a dark past, shows up in town.
