Vanina Guarrasi (Buscemi) and Paolo Malfatti (Giorgio Marchesi) have decided to try again to build a future Together. But first there is a score to settle with the past: the capture of Salvatore Fratta, the last hitman still at large from the group who murdered his father years earlier of Vanina. Until that man is arrested, there can be no serenity for the woman.
While Paolo is in Palermo to coordinate the search for the fugitive, Vanina is forced to accept the protection of chief inspector Carmelo Spanò (Claudio Castrogiovanni) and his trusted escort. In fact, after a disturbing message from the mafia, his safety has become a priority. However, the deputy commissioner’s investigative instinct suggests that something is hidden behind that threat. For this reason he asks Lo Faro to move into the shadows and delve deeper into the matter away from prying eyes.

At the same time, the team finds itself facing a new case: the assassination of Professor Vincenzo La Barbera, known for his commitment against drug trafficking and therefore frowned upon by the local clans. The man was very close to the parish of Don Rosario Limoli and had represented a fundamental guide for Thomas Ruscica, a boy with a complex past. Driven by her intuition, Vanina begins to dig into the professor’s private life, marked by a tragedy never completely clarified. Right there we could find the key to the crime.
