Massimo Riversi, un tempo brillante poliziotto, ha visto la sua vita sgretolarsi sotto il peso di una crisi che lo ha condotto al ricovero in una clinica psichiatrica.

Non voci di fantasmi o echi sovrannaturali, ma frammenti di conversazioni e suoni che appartengono a giorni, settimane e persino mesi prima. Un dono che, in realtà, somiglia più a una condanna, un fardello che minaccia di consumare quel poco che resta della sua lucidità.
