Storyline
Since you were a child, you knew you were special, as you had an extraordinary gift that your family tried to keep secret in order to protect you.
You could see and hear people who had died in mysterious circumstances. Sometimes these shadows were whispering messages that could help you understand what had happened to them, and you could help them find their beloved friends or relatives who had passed away as well.
Time has passed and the voices and shadows disappeared completely… at least this is what you thought, until…
September 14th… You arrived in Florence for the holidays and you prepare yourself for a good night’s sleep in your hotel. While you’re admiring the tower of Palazzo Vecchio, Florence’s city hall, from the window, somebody knocks at your door.
