A mystery trapped in time
In 1921, infamous Italian poet Galeazzo D'Ascanio wrote
his
last and greatest play, inspired by his muse and mistress,
actress Celia Sands. On the eve of opening night, Celia
vanished, and the play was never performed.
Now, two generations later, Alessandro D'Ascanio plans to
stage his grandfather's masterpiece and has offered the
lead
to a promising young English actress, also named Celia
Sands-at the whim of her actress mother, or so she has
always thought. When Celia arrives at D'Ascanio's
magnificent, isolated Italian villa, she is drawn to the
mystery of her namesake's disappearance-and to the
compelling, enigmatic Alessandro.
But the closer Celia gets to learning the first Celia's
fate, the more she is drawn into a web of murder, passion,
and the obsession of genius. Though she knows she should
let
go of the past, in the dark, in her dreams, it comes
back...
