On a flyover on the outskirts of Rome, a boy holds a stone in his hand. Next to him, a young girl. They are waiting for a car to pass by. Alessandro is the teenage son of Andrea, a wealthy sacred articles dealer, and Deborah is the 16 years old daughter of Roberta, a woman trying to make ends meet, even working as a call girl. The two are (maybe) in love with each other, despite their differences.

For Ivo, Rosario and Peppe the days are spent between work, family problems and everyday life. The three lifelong friends play in dingy bars, partly to make ends meet and partly due to artistic ambitions. People don’t like their music but they continue undeterred. Then, suddenly, the news: the death of Paolo ‘e Fierro, local mafioso, well-known for his robberies (who has faked his death to make off with the money). Nothing strange so far. But one night at the cemetery, under a full moon, the three find themselves watching a macabre and mysterious scene: the mafia Boss, menacing and full of scars, gets two madmen to dig up the grave of Paolo ‘e Fierro and discovers what he feared… the peace in the sleepy little town is about to be shattered…
