The story tells of a brilliant young prosecutor, Anna Colace, who has the insight to attack the 'Ndrangheta by leveraging its women, the wives and mothers of the bosses, figures who have always been marginalized with oppression and violence by the extremely patriarchal system of the criminal organization. Anna's investigation begins with the chilling disappearance of Lea Garofalo, who had testified against her husband Carlo Cosco to escape his grip and begin a new life with her daughter Denise. As Anna delves into the murky world of the 'Ndrangheta, she uncovers the powerful stories of Giuseppina Pesce and Concetta Cacciola, two very different women but linked by the experience of having lived an oppressive and suffocating existence and by the same desire and impulse to escape to ensure a better future for themselves and their children.
