Between the Italian sun and shadows of suspicion.
Tom Harvey works as a tour guide and street saxophonist in Rome. On one of the long summer days, Tom receives a call from his ex-father-in-law, the wealthy and famous painter Bob Ardlan, but he ignores the call because he is with a woman.
A few days later, his ex-wife, Elena, calls to inform him that her father has died after falling from the balcony of his home in Tremonte. What initially appears to be a suicide or accident may actually be murder when it is discovered that one of Ardlan’s many muses, with whom he had a relationship, was found dead on a beach just two months earlier.
Tom travels to the region to understand what happened, reuniting with Elena, whom he still has not forgotten. He embarks on an investigation among luxury yachts, beaches, the sun of the Italian coast, and colorful characters, all of whom are suspects in the crime.
