Christopher Cornell grew up in a home where Catholic doctrine was law. Suffocated by an abusive father, he found solid ground in atheism and music while spending his days working on a traditional Italian farm.
Exhausted from performing a Catholicism that no longer belonged to him, Cornell decides to abandon the farm and plant his roots in the gray Portland of the 1990s, moving into a dilapidated apartment with his old friend, Eddie Vedder.
Convinced he had left behind the entire religious heritage that haunted him, Chris never expected fate to cross his paths with Beatrice - a novice with Neapolitan blood whose beauty left him breathless from the very first glance.
In order to get close to her, Christopher chooses deceit as his main shortcut. To camouflage the persona that screamed into microphones in filthy pubs and lived immersed in the underground scene, he once again takes on the role he always played with mastery: that of a false devotion to the sacred.
What begins as a painfully honest friendship transforms into a deep, forbidden attraction. Now, the sacred and the profane walk hand in hand, beneath the burden of omission and the heavy weight of devotion.
