Leopoldo Casperano, a prestigious writer, decides to stay for a while in the large Diocesan Residential Complex, next to the Episcopal Palace of the Archdiocese (a place popularly known as the Black City). The main reason is to document, for his next novel, a scientific monk who lived, during the Middle Ages, in an ancient monastery located in the same place. A few months later, when he sees that his research is not progressing, he thinks about leaving and ending his stay there. However, the friendship that has developed between him and a young nun (the Monsignor's personal assistant) during all this time will make him change his decision and stay there for a while longer. During this time he will come to know love, an intense love, but he will also discover many other secrets that exist in the so-called Black City, which are kept hidden under a sacred cloak of silence.
