In 1982 Rome, on the night of Italy's World Cup victory, an eighteen-year-old female employee of the Vatican's housing agency vanishes. Young officer Michele Balistreri, initially dismissive of the case, faces a grim awakening when a horrific discovery is made along the Tiber, revealing the dire consequences of his negligence. Fast forward to 2006, as Italy celebrates another World Cup win, journalist Linda Nardi investigates a spate of brutal attacks on young women. Although authorities attribute the murders to a group of juvenile immigrants, Nardi, at Balistreri's request, suspects a more sinister force at play. Now a high-ranking officer in the Italian police, Balistreri is haunted by the unresolved tragedy of his early career and believes these recent crimes may be the work of a serial killer. He hopes that solving this case will alleviate the guilt he has carried for over twenty years. For Nardi, Balistreri's proposition offers a chance to expose the truth and challenge the corruption and racism pervasive in Italian society. Their quests to confront the past and the present intertwine, revealing a dark connection that runs deeper than either could have anticipated.
