Czechoslovakia, 1919. After his closest friend disappears without a trace, a reclusive insurance clerk and aspiring writer is lead into a deepening mystery involving his seductive co-worker, a group of shadowy anarchists and their talk of the "cover-up" controlled from the dark castle outside the city walls.

Trivia:

There's a reference to Kafka's work "the metamorphosis", during a conversation outside the cafe. Someone asks Kafka what he's been working on and he answers-"A thing about a man who wakes up and finds himself transformed into a giant insect!"
