Synopsis: The occult power of death and beyond. Attilio Cocci, world famous glorified organist, accused of mass murder, is detained in a maximum security prison. When Vittorio Strinati, a cynical investigator, asks him an interview to recover the precious sheet which Cocci had with him before the halt, Cocci proposes a deal: listening to his story in exchange for directions. Strinati doesn't believe his unfathomable and apocalyptic story but he'll nonetheless go to Ornello, the birth place of the musician, theatre of misdeeds for which Cocci is investigated. There he'll run into Albinia, a demon indicated by Cocci as the true culprit for his indictments. In a crescendo of plot twists and revelations, a different universe will shape together with unpublished laws that governs it. Strinati will find himself a pawn of a bigger game, where protagonists from the past, shadows and old prophecies are tied in a double string with Cocci's ancestry while occult power of death and beyond dominates everything. "I don't think you can get me out of here" sighed Attilio. "I don't think so either...how many homicides are you accused of, twenty-five?" asked the detective. "So why did Irene pay you so much?" resumed Attilio. "Because of Wolfgang Oddio's sheet which she took to Ornello with her."
