Andrew Steelman, a journalist for “The New York Times,” struggles to recover after an assassination attempt on his life. He has no strength to work, and he can’t win back the woman he loves. His only joy is reading.
One day, in the library, he meets a serious and slightly strange girl, Suzy: she is looking for something, tirelessly studying piles of books. Andrew, starved for interesting work, gladly agrees to help her—without even realizing that he has intentionally been pulled into a deadly story.
