Paříž. Snoubenec Jany Mirande je obviněn a odsouzen za vraždu, kterou nespáchal. Janin bratr Gabriel je žákem geniálního chemika a vynálezce Briona, který hned v úvodu příběhu umírá. Ještě než odejde za modrý horizont, předá Gabrielovi svůj poslední objev – chemickou substanci, která zesiluje schopnost vnímat myšlenky osob v okolí toho, komu byla látka intravenózně aplikována. Gabriel Mirande se rozhodne substanci použít k nalezení skutečného vraha a očištění jména sestřina snoubence.
