Concept: Gabriel Antinori is a young priest and theology professor at the university. Loved by his students for his unconventional intellect, Gabriel is concerned with exploring the boundaries between science and faith, studying the world of paranormal phenomena. Motivated by the desire to explore life's mysteries, Gabriel works with a religious institution which investigates rationally unexplainable happenings: The Congregation of Truth. Gabriel is not an investigator of the occult, but a man of faith who is free from prejudice and narrowmindedness, who wants to understand the phenomenon especially from a human point of view. Gabriel meets attractive psychologist Claudia, who has a more skeptical attitude than Gabriel, believing in the potential of the human mind rather than the divine. An irresistible attraction, both spontaneous and passionate but ultimately impossible, develops between them catching them off-guard.. Their collaboration creates a special chemistry that comes from the seductive juxtaposition between rationality and faith, between science and spirituality. Together they discover new perspectives to explain the mysteries they encounter.
