Englishman, Paul and his Italian wife, Rosa have been living happily in Florence for nineteen years when a dinner invite to Rosa’s younger sister leads them into a dangerous world where political corruption and organised crime meet. ‘He thought of all the times he’d despaired at the lack of real action being taken against the general level of self-interest, exploitation and corruption in Italian public life, and railed against the left’s inability to stop squabbling amongst itself and do something concrete about putting things right.’

Forced out of work in England during the depression, young Max Caddick makes his way down to Italy to see more of the art that has always fascinated him. Fifty years later, recent graduate Paul Caddick goes to Florence to teach English and hopes to find out more about his mysterious Italian grandmother. Once there, he is surprised to find that mention of the family name provokes hostility and it is soon clear that most people would prefer the past to remain forgotten. Undeterred, Paul discovers that the family history is darker than he could have ever imagined.
