Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Turi Leofonte is released from prison after eleven years and asks for the surviving members of his old security detail to escort him back in Sicily to get revenge on his former associates – something the authorities indulge to seize a large stash of Mafia money he claims to have access to.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
