Au XIXe siècle, en Nouvelle-Zélande, le destin hors du commun de Cécilia, qui de fille de colons débarquant d'Angleterre va devenir une princesse maorie.
Laura, jeune aristocrate anglaise, part pour la Nouvelle-Zélande afin de retrouver sa véritable mère, Cécilia. Guidée par un espoir fou, Laura parcourt le pays, en quête d'indices et de personnes l'ayant connue. Elle remonte ainsi le cours d'une existence tumultueuse et sans compromis. Trahie par des colons corrompus, Cécilia s'était juré de se venger. Elle s'est réfugiée auprès des Maoris. En dépit de son rang, elle a épousé l'un des leurs et s'est impliquée passionnément dans leur lutte pour reconquérir leurs territoires. Mais les démarches de Laura aboutissent toutes à cette impasse : on a perdu la trace de la « princesse maorie » au cours de sanglantes rébellions. Contre toute logique, Cécilia pourrait-elle être encore vivante ?
