Years after her death, Carmen’s music is resurrected and introduced to the public by Ada Hirschman, a talented concert pianist, frustrated into early retirement and despair. In the mansion home of Carmen’s widow Vera May Evans, the two women develop a powerful bond, as Vera suffers the pain of Carmen’s memory. In the snows of their winter tranquility, they are confronted by an evil that threatens their very lives, while the outside world is gripped by apocalyptic shock over Carmen Coletti’s music—music that foreshadows the coming end of the world, at the twilight of human history.
