Alex has a leading post in the advertising agency he works for, but recently a young and ambitious colleague has joined the agency threatening his position. On top of all of this, one morning Alex meets Niki. Better still, they crash into each other. Niki is a beautiful girl. She’s bright, funny, cheerful, amusing. There is only a little drawback: she’s only seventeen. Twenty years younger than Alex. And after that morning, nothing will ever be the same.

It’s eight o’clock in the morning. Marta is biting at a doughnut on her way home from sleeping over at her aunt’s. A van stops by. Mario, a retarded boy, talks her into following him to his farm. Everyone’s worried, as Marta is only six years old. Inspector Sanzio is an expert policeman who has just moved to town. Hi colleague Siboldi is younger and a local. he becomes his guide into the personal and family connections of the small community. Together with Alfredo, Sanzio’s colleague from his homicide squad days, the two inspectors will have to stick around, as another crime is about to be discovered, a crime rooted in the family ties of the small town, the result of a relationship gone wrong. Anyone Sanzio meets and questions is a potential killer. The inspector feels strangely involved with the investigation: his family is going through a similarly heartbreaking process.
