At night, on a Swiss road, a car speeds towards Marseille. At the wheel is Pietro Leone, a UN official in Geneva; beside him sleeps his teenage son. They are on the run without knowing from what: for days someone has been watching their movements, and his wife Emilia, a Spanish physicist at CERN in charge of an experiment on the Large Hadron Collider, has not come home. Meanwhile Nuria, a Madrid journalist sent to report on CERN, is won over by a world that at first seemed remote, and through her questions the story opens onto the great questions of contemporary physics about matter, space and time.
