Description
Alice Lai is 15. It's the last day of school before the lockdown. She must now stay at home, an empty apartment where she spends a lot of her time by herself. Her parents work on endless shifts at the hospital (her mum's a doctor and her dad's a nurse) both engaged in the fight against the virus that has hit the world hard changing everyone's life. Luckily Alice has a great friend who makes up for her loneliness: her grandfather - whom she calls Bob - a hard skinned widower with a soft heart. As things start getting grim and crazy out there, her life enclosed within the walls of the house becomes an opportunity for surprising changes and culminates in her meeting someone remotely. His name's Skià, or that's his internet nickname, and he wears a bizarre metal mask. The doors to a new extraordinary but dangerous world are about to be opened.
