A voyage from a place that doesn't belong to this reality to a small town on the hills near the Apennini mountain range. A mysterious death, a hideous secret to keep... and someone who wants to discover the truth at every cost. A little girl who have to understand to find peace and a police inspector who won't stop at first appearances; their stories weaved together, flowing beneath the real world surface and the hyperuranium underground. |
