Maia D’Aplièse and her five sisters gather at their childhood 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 revelations come to light, prompting 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 to piece together how her own story began...

Eighty years ago, in the Belle Époque of Rio, in 1927, Isabella Bonifacio's father aspires to marry his daughter well to enter the ranks of the aristocracy. Meanwhile, architect Heitor da Silva Costa has taken on the project of erecting a statue, which will be named Christ the Redeemer, and will soon travel to Paris to find the right sculptor who can bring his vision to life.
Isabella - full of passion and longing to see the world - convinces her father to let her, before she marries, go with Heitor da Silva Costa and his family to Europe. There, in the studio of sculptor Paul Landowski and the vibrant cafes of Montparnasse teeming with life, she meets an ambitious young sculptor, Laurent Brouilly, and realizes immediately that her life will never be the same again.
