While restoring an old painting depicting a woman and two men playing chess, art conservator Julia discovers a hidden Latin phrase: 'Who killed the knight'. The painting's owner tells her that one of his ancestors was murdered, and the artwork might identify the killer. Soon after this revelation, Julia's friend dies suddenly. Alarmed, she seeks help from Domenec, a chess prodigy who reconstructs the game from the painting. As they attempt to solve the mystery together, each move they make in the reconstructed game coincides with a new murder among their circle of art experts and patrons.
