Insolente, rebelle, Ronit a quitté l'Angleterre et la communauté juive orthodoxe à dix-huit ans, direction New York. Refusant de se plier au destin tout tracé de mère de famille et d'épouse, elle a désobéi à son père, le grand Rav Krushka. À la mort de ce dernier, quinze ans plus tard, Ronit est rappelée auprès de sa famille, à Hendon. Elle retrouve Esti, qui fut sa petite amie, et son cousin Dovid. Eux n'ont pas désobéi. Dovid est devenu rabbin presque malgré lui. Esti a nié son attirance pour les femmes et suivi les préceptes de la Torah : elle a épousé Dovid... sans cesser d'aimer Ronit. Le retour de l'enfant maudite dans ce monde replié sur lui-même va provoquer une onde de choc.
