Those Who Don't Sleep NASH
The Tranquil Valleys do not like secrets to be dug up or truths to be revealed. Get ready for the longest night…
Forensic psychologist Nash Elizondo is documenting the origins of a witchcraft legend in the Legarrea pit cave, in one of the Tranquil Valleys (Los Valles Tranquilos) in Navarra, Spain, but when she descends into the cave, she stumbles upon the body of a young girl who had disappeared in the area three years earlier, Andrea Dancur. The whole country was deeply shaken by the case and a woman is currently serving time for the crime.
It's March 2020 and this startling discovery and new clues force the reopening of an investigation that will unfold on two different fronts. On one side, the case will be pursued through scientific methods; on the other, it will delve into the psychology of those involved and explore ancient mysteries.
Nash Elizondo, venturing into mythical and often hostile territory, will be joined by unexpected allies and take the lead of a resilient lineage of women who refuse to break, even when they find themselves as victims. As Nash grapples with the implications of her discoveries and her own impending personal crisis, the stakes couldn't be higher. Will she uncover the truth behind Andrea's disappearance and the secrets buried in the Basque Country's past?
