Plot

'Isla Perdida (Haunted Heart)' is set in the early 21st century and tells the story of how Álex, after arriving a week later than agreed at a restaurant in Greece, has to take the job of waitress, which is the only one available. A temporary summer job lost in the desert of Greece where she meets a Brazilian named Enrico, with whom she quickly hits it off, but where she also meets the restaurant manager, Max, an American with a hidden and intriguing past whom she quickly falls in love with. Soon, she begins to distrust him upon seeing that he hides more than one secret, and her new friend Enrico will help her uncover it.
