After serving prison time for a juvenile offense, Freddo gathers his old buddies Libano and Dandi and embarks on a crime spree that makes the trio the most powerful gangsters in Rome. Libano loves their new status, and seeks to spread their influence throughout the underworld, while the other two pursue more fleshly desires. For decades, their gang perpetrates extravagant crimes, until paranoia threatens to split the friends apart.

This is a sprawling, visceral journey into the heart of a criminal empire. It feels relentless and stylish, charting the intoxicating rise and inevitable, melancholic fall of ambition. The atmosphere is thick with loyalty, betrayal, and the heavy weight of choices made in the pursuit of power.
