However, their sanity and limits are tested when investigator William, also plagued by his inner demons, decides to turn it into a case to be solved.

In the narrative, Marcio Zanini explores issues of betrayal, homosexuality, prejudice, sin, redemption and among others, all naked and raw. In addition, he has already revealed that his inspirations come from personal experiences and go to the complexities of psychology, a subject that claims to like to study.
