Under the influence of the powerful new psychedelic drug “Rhapsody”, Mario Fantoccio discovers the existence of an invisible reality overlaying our own.
The rhapsody-altered state of consciousness brings Mario to close encounters with “the Masters of Strings”, a coven of hyperdimensional beings who appear to control the destiny of every human in existence.
Desperate to sever the strings tying him to the will of his Masters, Mario overdoses on Rhapsody and escapes into hell, hoping to regain control of his life and free will.
Based on a modern interpretation of Jungian psychology, The Underworld Rhapsody is heavily themed on "subjective reality", "altered states of consciousness", and "individuation" as it follows one man's struggle to escape the chaos of his life and regain his free will.
