The official synopsis reads:
Amongst the towering landscape of the Swiss Alps, a gifted young physicist meets an elusive pianist – one who knows things about him that he’s never told another living soul. Before he knows it, his curiosity traps him inside a mind-bending metaphysical web of murder and mystery. Set in 1962, against the backdrop of cold war tensions and a world of paranoid conspiracy, the secrets that lie beneath the mountains are slowly revealed as his investigations deepen and the gripping truth is revealed.
