The arrival of a mysterious parcel plunges a guileless magistrate into a perilous web of political intrigue. As skeletons are goaded from closets and ghosts disinterred, a veil of deceit is uncovered exposing a deadly fraud in which the most unlikely become a threat.

In this slick, urbane thriller, when sleeping dogs are stirred, they bite.

Filmed on location in Rome, Milan and Paris and fresh from Italy's most successful box office hit of 2001, VALDJON, Renzo Martinelli directs his first English language film.
