Giorgio and Margherita have lived together for about twenty years in Milan, where she moved from Viterbo and got married, and where their two daughters, Maria and Giovanna, now "grown up", were born and raised: fourteen and thirteen years respectively.
 Giorgio, a graduate in mathematics but with multiple interests ranging from philosophy to ancient music, from medieval art to esotericism, works in a large computer company; Margherita, deals with the restoration of ancient musical instruments; their life takes place regularly, in the big city, perhaps with a… dream in the drawer: moving to the countryside and living more in contact with nature. But the problems are many: the convenience of reaching the workplace, the school of the daughters, the difficulty of finding what is in their dreams: an ancient house, with fireplaces, frescoes, a centuries-old park around, and, what is more matters… compatible with their finances. And so the idea is abandoned ..
 One day, however, an unpredictable fact arrives to upset the existence of the family. Margherita accidentally learns that they are selling an ancient castle in Piacentino; with inexplicable insistence he wants at all costs to go and see him, and, as if suddenly a superior will had taken possession of them, the decision is immediately taken: despite the apparent absurdity of the thing, despite the many difficulties, that castle will be their.
 But something non-human really seems to reside within those walls , where a series of incomprehensible facts, traces, messages, increasingly involve the unaware and bewildered family. Until the arrival of a scholar of paranormal phenomena, the discovery of an ancient diary and the intervention of a medium, will make our people aware of an inconceivable and shocking truth ...
