Castel Volturno, about thirty kilometers from Naples. It is September 18, 2008. A group of Camorra members burst into a tailor's shop run by African immigrants. They fire a hundred bullets indiscriminately, killing six young black men and seriously wounding another. Yussouf, a young immigrant, decided that same evening to settle the score with his uncle Moses. The man who convinced him to come to Italy. He had promised him a future as an honest craftsman but instead turned him into the cynical manager of a million-dollar cocaine ring. Entangled in their story are another African boy, Germain, who happened to be at the scene of the massacre; his girlfriend Asetù, who sings a Miriam Makeba song in public that same evening; and Suad, a prostitute whom Yussouf dreams of rescuing from her pimps.

Marino Pacileo has a soft spot for gambling. When he discovers that Lila's father, the young Chinese girl that he is in love with cannot pay a debt, the gambler steals money from the jail he is in to help the love of his life.

Giancarlo, a young Neapolitan animated by a great passion for journalism, is called as a correspondent in Torre Annunziata for the newspaper IL MATTINO. He begins to investigate the underworld and despite the difficulties he doesn't give up. His intuitions take him so far that the clan leader Gionta considers him too uncomfortable a character. The film reconstructs the last days of the life of the Neapolitan journalist Giancarlo Siani, killed by the Camorra in September 1985. It does so with the participation that a friend like Fiume had of Siani and with the courage to face a narrative that is absolutely different from the one of the debut film "Isolde".
