Nunzio died seventeen days ago. He left everything behind: his architect agency, his clients, his lover, and his friend, Blue, who is wrecked by grief. Nunzio is dead and he is the only one who knows the truth. Why he is still floating between the land of the dead and the land of the living?
Blue does not understand how Nunzio could just vanish like that, all of a sudden. At long last she decides to go back to the "Col de l'Ange," the village they grew up in, which they left thirty years before. Since then, they have become famous: he as a celebrated architect, and Blue as a successful model, featuring on the front covers of the best magazines. In the deserted family house, Blue is overwhelmed with memories.
When she was a small girl, she was nick-named Nine. Then she became Blue, the girl who makes heads turn. This was not a painless process. Her childhood was ruined. Her heart still bears the marks of the blows she received.
Blue knows that, dead or alive, her friend is waiting for her here. What she does not know is that it is a trap. Someone else is waiting for her at the "Col de l'Ange," someone who does not want to let her go. In the midst of a terrible storm, she takes the path that leads from life to death under the watchful gaze of her ever present guardian angel, Nunzio.
