Sonoma County, Californië. Op 14 april 1989 slaat Ramon Salcido door. Als een wildeman schiet hij om zich heen: zijn vrouw Angela overleeft het niet, evenmin als haar twee jongere zussen, zijn schoonmoeder en de man die hij ervan verdenkt een affaire met zijn vrouw te hebben. Daarna snijdt hij zijn drie dochtertjes de keel door: Sophia van vier, Carmina van drie en Teresa van bijna twee. Hij laat de kinderen voor dood achter op de plaatselijke vuilnisbelt. Dertig uur later worden hun lichamen gevonden. Als door een wonder is de kleine Carmina nog in leven. 'Mijn papa heeft me gesneden,' weet ze uit te brengen. Nu, twintig jaar later, is Carmina voor het eerst terug in Californië, in de hoop meer te weten te komen over haar tragische verleden. Ook wil ze haar vader, die al jaren in de dodencel zit te wachten op de voltrekking van zijn vonnis, in de ogen kijken om haar herinneringen een plaats te geven en dat hoofdstuk van haar jeugd af te sluiten.
