He and his friends survive any way they can, riding their mopeds around town and committing petty theft. But Pietro has a big dream: to become like Angelo ‘A Sirena, the neighborhood’s “king.” When he manages to get into the young boss’s good graces, Pietro finds himself caught in a power game far beyond him. He ends up wondering whether this dark, violent, criminal life is really what he wants—or if his love for Imma can save him from such a fate.
