In a 15th century Flemish painting two noblemen are playing chess. One of the men depicted was later murdered. Centuries later, in 20th century Madrid, Julia, a picture restorer preparing the picture for auction, realises that there is a message hidden within it that provides a clue to the ancient murder. The white knight is gone. The white queen is in danger. Pointers lie within the game shown in the painting. As she teams up with a chess master to plot the next move, Julia discovers the game is on and that the mystery is not restricted to the past.
