Nino goes further than anyone has ever dared before, but he soon realizes that his magistrate's methods are not enough: to catch Suro he has to fully become part of the criminal world he has always fought.
The power vacuum allows Nino to adopt a new and atypical command strategy for a Mafia clan: democracy. To defeat Suro, though, he also needs the support of the other Mafia families who have long hated Suro but never rebelled.
The story of Nino Scotellaro, a Sicilian public prosecutor who devoted his entire life to fighting against the mafia and is suddenly accused of being one of the very men he has always fought against. After being condemned, and with nothing left to lose, Nino decides to pull off a Machiavellian revenge plan.
