Further investigation reveals there is something not quite right about it and she takes matters into her own hands. But there are villagers with sinister motives who plan to profit from the mystery. They set about thwarting Cristina at every turn, and even employing others to help them. While all this going on, Cristina has to make a decision about her love life.
