Death wears the face of art. In the heart of Renaissance Florence, a killer turns human bodies into masterpieces. Technology meets terror in humanity's darkest hour.

Commissario Chiara Conti faces her worst nightmare when a series of artistically staged murders rocks Florence. Each victim is found posed like Renaissance paintings, their minds surgically extracted with impossible precision. As she investigates, Chiara uncovers a sinister connection between the murders and VitaNova, a powerful tech corporation developing synthetic consciousness. The case leads her to Alessandro Moretti, a grief-stricken genius trying to resurrect his dead wife through forbidden technology. But when an anti-tech movement emerges claiming the murders are part of a larger conspiracy, Chiara must confront her own traumatic past with failed neural implants. As the body count rises and the lines between art and atrocity blur, she races against time to stop the killer. If she fails to uncover the truth, more than just lives will be lost - humanity's very soul hangs in the balance.
