Buenos Aires, a city pulsing with the rhythm of tango and the whispers of countless immigrant stories, is where Nia Okafor’s world transforms. A young Nigerian-Argentine violinist, Nia inherits her grandfather’s cherished violin, unaware it holds a legacy far beyond music. Within its aged wood lies the power of shadow weaving—the ability to conjure spectral echoes of the departed. Suddenly, familiar melodies become haunting glimpses into forgotten lives, weaving untold stories into the vibrant tapestry of the city.

But the music, once a solace, becomes a mystical burden. Nia stumbles upon a hidden orchestra of fellow shadow weavers, a clandestine community each carrying the weight of their ancestors' journeys. Among them is Señora Elena, an enigmatic Armenian oud player who becomes Nia's mentor in the delicate balance between memory and oblivion. Each note played–from the Japanese koto to the Senegalese kora–resonates with a longing for lost homelands, a bittersweet symphony of Buenos Aires’ diasporic heart.

During a secret performance in the crumbling Teatro Abandonado, Nia unknowingly summons the spirit of Rebecca Morse, her estranged great-grandmother and a ghost from a past shrouded in secrets. Rebecca, a Jewish refugee who fled Nazi Germany, arrives not as a comforting presence but a catalyst, shattering the orchestra’s fragile unity and unearthing a narrative of forbidden love, betrayal, and unresolved grief. As historical resentments simmer to the surface, Nia finds herself caught between her Nigerian and Jewish heritages, grappling with the complexities of identity in a city built on displacement.

Adding to the intrigue is David, a captivated journalist drawn to Nia’s enigmatic music and the mysteries surrounding the Teatro Abandonado. His curiosity transforms into a shared quest for answers, their destinies entwined with the spectral melodies of the city.

Nia discovers a fragmented ritual within Rebecca’s spectral whispers—a ritual with the power to either heal or destroy, to sever the melancholic ties binding immigrant souls or unleash a deluge of grief upon Buenos Aires. Her pursuit of answers leads her through the city’s vibrant neighborhoods, from Nigerian gatherings to hushed synagogues, seeking guidance from the diverse communities that make Buenos Aires a living, breathing character in her story.
