POWERS
by GIOVANNI MAGISTRELLI
In Milan, a father, to save his newborn son in danger of life, accepts the help of a mysterious doctor. Decades later, in Piazza Duomo, Giorgio Braga meets his friend Romano Cattaneo, whom he hadn’t seen since elementary school, when the latter had suddenly vanished into thin air. In the same days, Milena, a prostitute, is brutally killed just outside the Lombard metropolis, while individuals with special abilities are supervised and recruited throughout Italy by a secret government organization under the command of Siegfried Siller, a powerful official, ready for anything. What are his plans and what links them to Milena’s murder and the meeting between the two old schoolmates? From Milan to Rome, disturbing and uncontrolled powers overwhelm any scruple in the extreme attempt to prevail over one other and to survive in the new era of light, but also of darkness, which is looming on the horizon.
