Alexander Otkazov is a failed pianist trying to start a new life in journalism. But when he starts reporting on a mysterious group of avant-garde musicians, the story takes him into a shadowy world of obscure composers, megalomaniac artists, and real estate barons, where the lines between art, finance, and fraud blur and the stakes are existential.
