London. 1970.
Vicky Graham, an unsuccessful film producer at the BBC, crosses the path of Luciano Raffi, a famous violinist, as he performs at the Proms.
For Vicky he represented something she could not have, but something she longingly craved for. A chance to lift her out of the unloving greyness of everyday life.
Through her job at the BBC, she is able to organise an interview with him, but their meeting triggers a renewed obsession with him.
The reason? Luciano has something in common with Vicky – they both know about the portal.
A secret history, nearly untraced, connects these distant souls.
But will it last?
Raffi is about to disappear from her life…
To get him back, she must travel to where and when she had never expected.
She must uncover the secret history of the portal…
