After a Pr*son term for mafia ties, career politician Catello has lost everything. When Italian intelligence seeks his help in capturing Matteo, his godson and the last fugitive mafia boss, Catello seizes the chance to get back in the game. A master of deception, Catello begins an unlikely letter exchange with the fugitive, hoping to exploit Matteo’s emotional void. But gambling with a wanted criminal has risks.
