This was the world of medicine when Thomas Dent Mütter began his trailblazing career as a plastic surgeon in Philadelphia during the middle of the 19th century. Although he died at just 48, Mütter was an audacious medical innovator who pioneered the use of ether as anesthesia, the sterilization of surgical tools, and a compassion-based vision for helping the severely deformed, which clashed spectacularly with the sentiments of his time.

Lo scenario è una bella villa sulla collina di Alassio, tra palme, eucalipti e profumo di mareggiate invernali. Nel frattempo gli uomini del commissariato indagano anche su una vicenda poco chiara che si svolge all'interno di una sfarzosa galleria d'arte e antiquariato appena inaugurata.
