Demetrio Perez is a famous criminal lawyer from Naples who years ago was considered one of the best in his field, but after having made too many enemies is now reduced to working as a public defender. His life begins to fall apart when his daughter Tea falls madly in love with Francesco Corvino, the son of a boss of the Camorra.
