  In 1985, Giancarlo Siani is killed by ten shots. He was a 26 year-old journalist, or more accurately a stringer, as he loved to refer to himself. He worked for Il Mattino, first at Torre Annunziata and then at Naples. He was a happy young man who loved life and his work, always doing his best to verify the news and and investigate the facts. Giancarlo was the only journalist killed by the camorra. We follow him in the last four months of his life--his last summer when he travels from his home in the Vomero neighborhood to hellish Torre Annunziata, kingdom of crime boss Valentino Gionta. Giancarlo is investigating corruption in earthquake reconstruction efforts. We see him move among the mafiosi, corrupt politicians, frightened prosecutors and helpless policemen, where he stands out a lily in the mud. The night of his murder, he is supposed to go with his girlfriend to a concert by rock star Vasco Rossi in Naples...
