First, an ordinary couple who cannot have children decides to use the services of a surrogate mother encountered on an Internet forum. Why does she look so afraid and what does that mean exactely when she says that “this baby is special. Preserve your anonymity and he will be safe.” When the adoptive father is kidnapped with another woman and their sequestration is broadcast live on the Internet, light is shed on him... and the baby/the deal is broken...
Then, a mutilated body is found in a pit in the middle of a forest. Tatooed on his arm is the exact date and time of a man's death, on the threshold of the police headquarters. In his hand, a letter.
At the center of those cases: The Angel, a mysterious blackmailer who wants to awaken consciences against IA and the standardization of human thought.
The police will have to start a crazy race against time to try to save the two prisoners and protect baby Luca. Their investigation will take them to the heart of unsuspected and dark networks.
