Rome, the Eternal City, hides secrets darker than its nights.
Marco Conti, a man on the brink of collapse, has lost everything-his job, his family, his dignity. Drowning in debt, haunted by his past, and with no hope for the future, he sees no way out.
Then, one evening, a note appears under the door of his rundown apartment:
"Do you want to be free from your problems? Meet Mr. A. Tomorrow, 9:00 PM, at Bar Aurora."
An anonymous message. A promise of redemption. A trap?
Desperation pushes Marco to the meeting. Sitting before him is a refined man, sharp-eyed and impeccably mannered, who makes him an offer too tempting to refuse: a sum of money that could wipe away all his troubles in exchange for a seemingly simple task. Watch a man. Take notes on his movements. Nothing more.
But the deeper Marco gets into the job, the clearer it becomes that he has stepped into a deadly game. Political conspiracies, Vatican secrets, hidden plots buried beneath the city's very foundations. With every step, he sinks further into a web of lies and betrayals, where nothing is as it seems, and no one is who they claim to be.
As the truth begins to surface, Marco realizes that the only way to survive is to uncover the secret everyone is willing to kill to protect.
But time is running out. And the price for knowing too much is always the same: death.
How much is he willing to risk for the last offer?

"I am pretty sure this is more than a coincidence, right Doctor knight?"He spoke out staring intensely in my blue contact lens and glancing at my black attired body.We hold each other's gaze for a pregnant moment ignoring every presence around us.
"Indeed Sir,"I started calmly forcing out the sir,"The world seems quite round for us to meet in the underground ring."I added with an irony tone as our gaze remained locked.Fate indeed works in more coincidentally adverse ways than I am eager to confront and prepare myself for.

In the view of world,they'll look like successful independent humans who got their life set.But there's always more than the eyes meet.
Two souls, two riddles,veiled with their quiescent storms and mysteries, unaware of their souls searching the same salvation of life.How long will it take them to knock off these storms
into quiescent contentment?
