Argyris has two worlds. The world of school and the electronic world. In the first, he feels stifled; in the second, he feels liberated. And somewhere in between, he tries to forget—his parents’ divorce, his father, his emotions.

Until the moment a prolonged power outage shuts him out of both worlds. His nightmares will come to life, his memories will awaken, his questions will grow. Inside him, everything becomes dark—just like before…

Will he surrender to the darkness again, as the timid and shy boy everyone says he is, or will he fight it bravely, as some gladiators once fought against the Romans?
