Verona, the ancient theater «Olimpico». Forty years ago, an actress died here during the premiere — her dying monologue became a true farewell to life. The killer was never found, the play was banned. But after forty years, it is back on the posters. For the once-famous Irene Romano, the fateful role of Colombina is a chance to restore her reputation after the scandal. However, the very first rehearsal shatters hopes: the producer is found poisoned, the theater doors are locked, and there is no connection to the outside world. The stage begins to dictate its own laws, and the play seems to come alive. Now the eight people in the theater — are not just a troupe. Each has their own sins, their own secrets. The masks of the commedia dell'arte heroes hide true faces. To survive, Irene must uncover the truth buried under layers of lies, jealousy, and old poison. Will she make it before the final scene?
