A criminal known as The Lebanese has a dream: to conquer the underworld of Rome. To carry out this feat, he puts together a ruthless and organized gang. Their progress and changes in leadership (The Lebanese, Freddo, Dandi) take place over twenty-five years, from the 1970's, and are inseparably intertwined with the dark history of modern Italy: terrorism, kidnappings and corruption at the highest levels of government. Throughout these years Police Lieutenant Scialoia sticks to the gang's trail, trying both to bring them to justice and win the heart of Dandi's girlfriend Patrizia. From the novel of the same name by Giancarlo De Cataldo.
