Julia, a renowned crime journalist celebrated for exposing and bringing down the notorious serial killer Gianni Lenzi, finds herself drawn into a darker chapter when she receives a mysterious package-a collection of disturbing snuff films. The sender: Milian, an infamous underground filmmaker known for his grotesque and brutal work. Invited to his secluded home for an exclusive interview, Julia agrees, driven by curiosity and the promise of another explosive story. But as the camera rolls and the truth begins to unravel, Julia discovers that Milian's latest production may be more personal-and more dangerous-than she ever imagined.
