Two women. Two different centuries. One attic room American Isabelle Field has been shipped off to Rome to live with her aunt, Princess Elizabeth Brancaccio. Isabelle's aunt and mother share a common goal - replicating Elizabeth's success by marrying Isabelle off to a European nobleman. But Rome in 1896 is on the cusp of a new century and Isabelle longs for more than a titled husband. She secretly designs costumes for Rome's burgeoning theatre environment and dreams of opening a fashion atelier. Can she gather the courage to forge a life for herself, even if it means going against expectations? Over a century later, doctoral candidate Sophie Nouri can't believe her good fortune when she is selected to intern in Rome's Near Eastern Art Museum. Even better, the position includes an attic apartment in the spectacular museum property, the Palazzo Brancaccio. Overseeing a major exhibition is stressful, but tension alone can't explain the disturbing nighttime presence in the deserted hallways of the grand palace - especially one no one else can sense. Almost as if a spectral being is trying to communicate with Sophie directly. Or warn her.
