In a despairing, fatalistic Rome, Nicola finds himself flirting with the city’s dark side. Drinking too much and living among drifters, petty criminals and anxious immigrants, Nicola becomes entwined in an insurance scam that leads him further into a netherworld he may never escape.

At 11 years old, Nicola has killed a man. It was his father, Lucio, who ordered him to do it. His reward? Abandonment. Twenty years have passed, and since that day Nicola has lived in Mexico with his uncle Nando, who raised him under a lie: Lucio was dead. A harsh upbringing in a ruthless country shaped him and taught him how to survive. Today, he's an adult working at the family restaurant, having buried the past under the weight of distance. But Nando decides to leave for good. On the eve of his escape, he chooses to reveal the truth: Nicola's father is still alive.

Weaving together fact and fiction, this docudrama performs a portrait of the often seamy underside of the city of Naples.Ferrara traveled to Italy to interview the inmates at the Naples Pozzuoli State Prison, a high security lockup for women, and with the help of a translator he allows a number of women doing time to talk about their lives before and after they were convicted. Ferrara chose to expand the short profile of the prisoners into a feature by offering a look at life in the slums of Naples and the actions of a number of law enforcement officers and social workers struggling to improve conditions for the poor, as well as adding three short fictional segments shot of digital video gear.
