The ensuing diplomatic sex scandal leads to the immediate resignation of the Prime Minister and turns the spotlight back onto the singer, Drugo, who decides to hole up in a Paris hotel with a his computer and Twitter page.The narrative overlaps with that of 16-year-old Diego from Torre del Lago, the best friend of Drugo’s son and the helpless victim of a strange sentiment that resembles love but frequently varies in intensity. Drugo and Diego appear to inhabit contrasting worlds but are unexpectedly drawn together, day by day, page by page.
