Julia (KATE BECKINSALE), an art restorer living in Barcelona, Spain, discovers a painted-over message on a 1471 Flemish masterpiece called La partida de ajedrez (The Chess Game) reading "Qvis Necavit Eqvitem," written in Latin (English: "Who killed the knight?"). With the help of her old friend and father-figure, the flamboyantly homosexual César (JOHN WOOD), who lives at Casa Batlló, and Domenec (PAUDGE BEHAN), a local chess genius Julia found in Park Güell, Julia works to uncover the mystery of a 500-year-old murder. At the same time, however, Julia faces danger of her own, as several people helping her along her search are also murdered.
