In the heart of Renaissance Florence, a young Leonardo da Vinci finds himself entangled in a mystery hidden in plain sight. When his master, Andrea del Verrocchio, entrusts him with assisting on the grandest sculptures and paintings of their time, Leonardo begins to notice something unusual. Subtle symbols, hidden proportions, and cryptic patterns seem to be woven into Verrocchio's masterpieces-clues to a secret philosophy encoded in art.
Driven by an insatiable curiosity, Leonardo dives into the mystery. Through the folds of David's tunic and the shadows of The Baptism of Christ, he uncovers an intricate code: the Golden Ratio, a mathematical formula that holds the key to universal harmony.

Why did Verrocchio hide this knowledge? What power does it hold? And who else is desperate to uncover it?
As Leonardo works to piece together the puzzle, he learns that this is no ordinary mystery-it's a philosophical masterpiece that could change the way humanity sees itself. But the journey toward enlightenment is fraught with challenges, and some truths are meant to stay hidden.
