SYNOPSIS:

Two weeks before his wedding, an Italian diamond dealer, Antonio Petrini, is murdered and buried in a wood by his business partner. Hours later, a boy is born in London bearing unexplained scars and markings. Unlike his English parents, he has dark Mediterranean looks. His parents call him Anthony. His childhood is plagued with nightmares of being murdered and buried. But he grows up with a love of Italy and diamonds. As an adult, he goes to Italy to hunt down his own killer using clues he has seen in his nightmares. But he finds much more than he expects. He finds Antonio Petrini's ex fiance, Sophia, who never discovered what happened to her disappeared lover. Anthony looks identical to her missing fiance and knows things about Sophia that only her fiance could possibly know. Their love is re-kindled and together they find the murderer and confront him. This results in Anthony & Sophia digging up the murder victim's body to find what was buried with it. Not only is this object extremely valuable, it is also the cause of the reincarnation of Antonio Petrini. Just as the pair retrieve the object and look like having a happy ending, the Mafia become involved, resulting in a dramatic and heartbreaking midnight woodland finale of Gothic proportions. But - there is still one final twist to come.
