Charlie Reade looks like a regular high school kid, great at baseball and football, a decent student. But he carries a heavy load. His mom was killed in a horrific accident when he was seven, and grief drove his dad to drink. Charlie learned how to take care of himself—and his dad. When Charlie is seventeen, he meets a dog named Radar and her aging master, Howard Bowditch, a recluse in a big house at the top of a big hill, with a locked shed in the backyard. Sometimes strange sounds emerge from that shed.

Una tempesta senza precedenti si abbatte sulla capitale con ferocia inaudita. Quando un fulmine colpisce una delle centrali elettriche, alle autorità non resta che imporre un blackout totale di ventiquattro ore, per riparare l'avaria. Le ombre tornano a invadere Roma. Sono passati cinque secoli dalla misteriosa bolla di papa Leone X secondo cui la città non avrebbe "mai mai mai" dovuto rimanere al buio. Nel caos e nel panico che segue, un'ombra più scura di ogni altra si muove silenziosa per la città lasciando una scia di morti... e di indizi.
