Synopsis
Piranesi lives in the House — a vast labyrinth of infinite halls filled with thousands of statues, where tides roll through the lower floors and clouds drift through the upper. He knows of only one other living person, whom he calls the Other. But as unsettling clues accumulate, Piranesi begins to suspect that the world is not what he believes.
