A young and brilliant lawyer from Trieste, after successfully defending a charismatic university professor against charges of sexual assault, is contacted by him again to file a lawsuit against the university, which, despite reinstating him, has relegated him to a marginal role.
At the same time, her past comes back to haunt her: strange signs, elusive presences, and a constant sense of threat make her suspect that her ex-partner—violent and so obsessed with her that he was convicted of stalking—has resumed persecuting her.
As the line between reality and imagination grows increasingly blurred, Elisabetta decides to uncover the truth, in a mounting spiral of tension that will leave her alone and force her to question everything she thought she knew.
