Rome, 1958. The American tourist James Morris arrives in the city, apparently for a simple vacation. During his stay, he meets and become friend with John Salina, responsible of the Tour Operator, and Gemma, archaeologist and tour guide girl, suffering with health troubles due to shocks received during her childhood: Gemma is a survivor of the bombing of Rome in July 1943.
John is unable to understand the aims and intentions which make the American traveller visit Rome focussing on very particular city areas, but when James flies back to U.S.A., he is sincerely sad for his American friend’s departure.
Many years later, John receives a letter from a Notary office located in a mountain resort, with the invitation to go there to get important news and communications. It is the starting point of a series of incredible discoverings that will take him in a lonely monastry, to reach unexpected revelations dating back to the far days of world war 2.
