The sudden disappearance of Naomi, a charming model from Kosovo, deeply unsettles Andrea, the young Italian publicist who had chosen her for a commercial. It is only 17 years later that he manages to uncover the mystery of her disappearance, thanks to the tale of sweet Milena. From the notes given to him, Andrea, now an established writer, draws a novel full of twists and turns.
On the eve of the Kosovo war, in an underworld where criminal elements exploit the unstable political situation to their own advantage, the story of Naomi unfolds; she goes missing, is found, and then vanishes into thin air again.
For Edoardo, an investigator out of the ordinary, it is an opportunity to re-emerge from the swamp of depression and throw himself headlong into action, like a bishop on the chessboard.

She's insane, she's sane. She's broken, she's unfixed. She loved, and now hates. She's in despair with a flicker of hope. She's bent on revenge, but she longs to be free from such a pledge. She is Naomi, and she is coming for him. Naomi lost everything before she even had the chance to ask how and why: money, children and even her husband. It was a clean sweep that kept her in an asylum for more than a year. After escaping a mental institution and its suffocating environment, she sorted out a job on the streets, and ended up working between shades, lies, and twists, just to meet her needs, and gather enough to exert revenge on the person who set her life in its current state. When she finally meets him face to face, fate plays forth another card, and she falls for him instead, which also leads to her finding the most painful truth about her family.
