Set in 1977 Naples, the series traces the criminal education of Pietro Savastano, a tough city kid from the poorest parts of Secondigliano. As he and his friends survive through petty theft, Pietro dreams of becoming like local crime boss Angelo ‘A Sirena. When he earns the young boss’s favour, he is drawn into a dangerous power struggle that forces him to question whether a life of violence is truly his destiny, or whether his love for Imma offers another path.
