Andrea Colori, a 15-year-old student, suffers from an anxiety disorder, which is somatized in nervous tics. Therefore, in everyday life he tends to be anonymous, while, on the social network The Stage, where no one can see him, he is a very popular illustrator, with a profile under the pseudonym @andrewscolors and with thousands of followers. His illustrations follow the standardized but comfortable style typical of the social network, and are matched with enigmatic quotes that hide his real malaise. That is, until he is contacted by a mysterious user named Eidolon, who, impressed by his talent, wants to meet him.
