Jérôme Morval has been found dead in the stream that runs through the gardens at Giverny, where Monet did his famous paintings.  
  
In Jérôme's pocket is a postcard of Monet's 'Water Lilies' with the words: _Eleven years old. Happy Birthday.  
_  
Entangled in the mystery are three women: a young painting prodigy, the seductive village schoolteacher and an old widow who watches over the village from a mill by the stream.  
  
All three of them share a secret.  
But what do they know about Jérôme's death?  
And what is the connection to the mysterious 'Black Water Lilies', a rumoured masterpiece by Monet that has never been found?
