In the shadowed streets of Italy, a chilling presence moves unseen, leaving a delicate half‑moon locket at each scene as a haunting signature. The killer’s methodical, cold‑hearted pursuit of a seven‑victim tally casts a pall over the city, turning everyday corners into potential traps. An atmosphere of unease permeates every alley and cafe, where whispers of the “Half‑Moon” moniker linger like fog, and the ticking clock fuels a growing sense of dread.

At the heart of the mystery is Giulia Torresi, a young woman on the cusp of a new life, whose unexpected survival of an early encounter grants her a fragment of insight that could unravel the murderer’s twisted motives. Beside her stands Mario Gerosa, a charismatic designer whose calm exterior masks a determination to protect the woman he loves while confronting the unsettling pattern that shadows them. Their partnership becomes a fragile beacon of hope, as they navigate a maze of cryptic clues and unsettling symbols that hint at a deeper, personal vendetta behind the killings.

The film balances stark, gothic visuals with an intimate, psychological tension, inviting the audience to feel the relentless pressure of a race against time. Every phone call, every fleeting glimpse of a locket, and every whispered rumor draws the survivor deeper into a game where the stakes are life itself. As the duo edges closer to the truth, the world around them tightens, suggesting that the killer may be hidden among the very people they trust, and that the key to stopping the nightmare lies in a single, fragile memory.
