A tense, morally weighty drama about a judge's courageous stand against organized crime in 1980s Sicily, grounded in institutional struggle and personal danger.

In 1980 Paolo Borsellino was appointed with the preliminary investigations and the task of setting up a team which would later become the famous anti-mafia pool, investigating into the criminal activities of various mafia bands, in particular the gang headed up by Totò Riina.
