In September of 1740, singer Tito Amato receives a inquisitive invitation. The German composer Karl Johann Weber is rehearsing a new opera at an isolated villa nestled in the hills of the Venetian mainland. Would Tito agree to the lead role? Puzzled by mid-air of secrecy that enshrouds the production, but attracted by way of a generous fee, Tito agrees. Happily, Tito Will never be traveling alone. Artist Gussie Rumbolt, Tito's friend and brother-in-law, in addition has been summoned to paint scenes of the estate's grape harvest. The countryside is awash with the golden hues of autumn, but the bucolic mood quickly turns menacing when a notorious figure from Tito's past arises at the villa. Then at the stroke of twelve, a soprano stumbles over a stranger who have been beaten to death with the clock pendulum. With the neighborhood constable away on the boar hunt, the midnight murderer has struck with impunity, raising terror to a fevered crescendo. So Tito pursues his own search for answers - a quest leading straight into the painful secrets of his heart and beyond.
