Premise
Blanca became blind at twelve, after witnessing a fire in which her older sister Beatrice died. Blanca testified that Beatrice's boyfriend, Sebastiano, had run off just before the fire. 15 years later Blanca is decoding audio files for court cases before returning to Genoa to work as an intern police consultant. Her uncle Alberto disapproves but allows her to stay for six months. Blanca is assisted by Linneo, her guide dog, and by her best friend Stella. While overcoming work-related challenges, she assists Michele with criminal investigations using her heightened non-visual senses. Blanca considers developing a romantic relationship with Michele but shifts her focus to Nanni. However, Nanni is secretly Sebastiano, who is stalking her, eventually imprisons and tortures her in revenge for her incriminating testimony.
