When 20-year-old Elena Allegro leaves the
Italian village of Laurino to study Fashion Design in Milan, she’s certain her
dreams are about to come true. Despite her father’s warnings that risk comes
with her newfound freedom, she loves her studies and develops a love interest
with Francesco, the handsome young entrepreneur who offers her a part-time job
in a Milan clothing store.

It seems like an idyllic situation—until a
stalker targets Elena, tormenting her with mind games and threatening her
safety. In the face of escalating danger to herself and to Francesco, Elena
must fight for her freedom, her love, and her survival.
