Into the Groves

Rumors. Romance. And more than a little espresso. Santa Lucia has seen a lot of changes, and they've made life for the villagers harder than they ever imagined. Creating a working vineyard.

The villagers are back for one last passeggiata through the flower-lined alleys of Santa Lucia. Swapping gossip at the local cafe has never been so delicious until a storm of secrets threatens the village's very survival. With the rain beginning to fall and the wine turning to vinegar in the barrels, can the villagers bring themselves back into the wavering blue light of Santa Lucia?
