A man wanders on the side of a mountain road, his clothes are stained with blood and inside his backpack a severed hand is found, along a ring ad a picture of a girl with two paper ellipses on her eyes. Teresa Battaglia, Police detective in Udine, throws herself body and soul on the case. Too many things don't add up: a delusional man that doesn't give any answer, the ghost of folly behind an homicide case. What if the girl wasn't already dead and they could save her?
But for Teresa, devoured by diabetes that chews bits of memories day by day, time is the only thing that is lacking.
