The plot

What seems like an opportunity to get back on their feet soon turns into a grave danger: the money belongs to criminals who are ready to do anything to get it back.
At the same time, Stella, a police inspector with a determined character and little inclination to rules, returns to work after the loss of the man she loved. The investigation into that case forces her to deal not only with criminals and internal obstacles, but also with still open wounds.
Their stories develop on two planes destined to intersect: on the one hand Simone’s escape together with his ex-wife Alessia and daughter Giada, on the other the investigative work of Stella, who is increasingly involved on a personal level.
