The four-part series set for Canale 5 will be directed by Francesco Miccich and stars Daniele Liotti (The Fugitive, The Inquiry, One Step From Heaven) and Chiara Masatalli (The Night Before The Exams, Rome, The Good Apprentice).

The series follows Carlo (Daniele Liotti), a widower on the brink of proposing to his new partner until Nina (Chiara Mastalli), a young medium arrives and makes him question all he has known. When a s ance sees her embodied by his deceased wife, nothing will be the same again.

As the situation escalates, Carlo unearths more than he bargained for and has the opportunity to look inside himself and rethink his views on the supernatural. Continuing their journey, he is confronted with another realisation; his feelings for Nina are far from platonic.
