The Commander believes his wife and child died seven years ago, so he returns to the church every year to mourn them. What he doesn't know is that his wife survived, badly injured and with her memory gone, and has been raising their daughter alone while fighting an illness she can barely afford to treat.
The daughter cobbles together money for her mother's medicine by working as a shoemaker, and her path keeps crossing the Commander's without either of them understanding why. A pocket watch finally forces the truth into the open, and the woman who caused all of this has to answer for it. The daughter's real background is still waiting to be uncovered.
