Cagliari, współczesna Sardynia: piękna i słoneczna, a jednocześnie naznaczona cieniem pradawnych kultów. W policyjnym archiwum powstaje sekcja spraw nierozwiązanych, do której trafiają niepokorna śledcza Mara Rais oraz Eva Croce, przeniesiona z Mediolanu specjalistka od zbrodni rytualnych.

W miarę jak śledztwo pogłębia się, obie inspektorki odkrywają, że największe zagrożenie nie kryje się w legendach, lecz w ludziach–i w demonach, które każda z nich nosi w sobie.
