Tutte le sere, dopo il tramonto, Viola si addentra nel bosco dietro casa. La grave malattia di cui soffre le impedisce di esporsi anche al minimo raggio di sole. Così, quando i suoi compagni sono impegnati con la scuola, lei dorme o sta in casa a suonare, e quando loro vanno a dormire, lei passeggia libera tra gli alberi del suo bosco, in compagnia del buio e di tutti gli animali che lo popolano. Una sera, però, sul sentiero sterrato da cui non passa anima viva, scorge un’auto: un ragazzo tira fuori un corpo pesante dal bagagliaio e lo trascina sul sedile di guida, prima di dare fuoco alla macchina. Poi seppellisce qualcosa nel terreno vicino. Sei alberi dal ciglio della strada: per Viola è facilissimo ritrovare il punto in cui quel tizio ha scavato la buca… e dare inizio alla sua personale, pericolosa indagine. Che cosa ci fanno tanti soldi sepolti nel bosco? E quel ragazzo è forse un assassino? Tornerà a cercarla?
