Santa Paola, an alternative virtual twin of Sao Paolo city, is a cosy home for the avatars of users scared and tired of the real world. It is in this oneiric scenery, under algorithmic rains of rose petals, that Marcos and Maya had met and fallen in love. However, for a long time they haven't had a clue of who their users are in real life. When doubt come across their sweet virtual existence and they dare ask the dangerous questions, they might discover that the knowledge of each other is the hardest thing someone who gave up reality for love could ever face.
