Former Miss Italy Viola Vitale moves to Palermo to work as a journalist. But the real reason is linked to her superpower, synaesthesia. Thanks to this ability, she helps Chief Inspector Francesco Demir solve numerous murder cases.

For her first news report, Viola works with Demir to find out who tried to kill a 16-year-old boy. This investigation leads her to discover that her synaesthesia can also deceive her and that the truth is not always as it seems.

The death of a beauty parlour owner prompts Viola to question prejudice and how it affects people's lives, including her own. She sees Demir as nothing more than a Don Juan, but an unexpected encounter may change her mind.

During the search for her father, Viola meets the charming Raniero who, struck by her beauty, asks her out to dinner. The death of a bank manager's wife makes her focus on the investigation and understand something about her past.

Viola is torn about whether she should reveal what she has found out about Farah to Demir, but her attempts result in an argument. However, Demir helps her trace a trip that the girl's mother made to Palermo 10 years earlier.
