In the 1970s, Angela (Manuela Arcuri) flees from the Neapolitan base, wanting to leave ugly memories behind and rebuild her life in Rome. But someone cannot forget her: Carmine (Brando Giorgi), an unscrupulous young boss, and also John (Giovanni Scifoni), a thirsty commissioner of justice. When Angela returns to Naples with her husband Gabriele (Sergio Muniz), she struggles for the survival of her family. Carmine, defying the power of boss Conticello (Giancarlo Giannini) and Nina's love (Elena Russo), will stop at nothing to have Angela at her side.
