Plot

An English pianist living in Rome witnesses the brutal murder of his psychic neighbor. With the help of a tenacious young reporter, he tries to discover the killer using very unconventional methods. The two are soon drawn into a shocking web of dementia and violence.

During a parapsychology convention, psychic medium Helga Ulmann senses a murderous mind in the audience, triggering her brutal assassination later that evening. English pianist Marcus Daly witnesses the assault from the street and rushes to help, only to become targeted by the unseen predator. Partnering with relentless journalist Gianna Brezzi, Marcus scrambles to decode a hazy memory of a missing painting from the crime scene. Their frantic investigation leads them through cursed folklore and booby-trapped abandoned villas, while the killer stays one step ahead, butchering contacts and trapping the amateur sleuths in a tightening web of violence.
