Franco Fiorvanti is a charming lemon grower who works hard on a baron's estate. He dreams of owning his own lemon grove, but Sicily's strict class system stands in the way of his ambition. Determined to secure a better future, Franco will do anything to prove his loyalty and dedication to the baron.
However, when the baron asks him to kidnap a little boy, Dante, Franco makes a decision that will change his life – and the history of Sicily – forever.
Gaetano Catalano is a young idealistic lawyer whose faith and dedication to justice seem like a calling. He is a member of the Beati Paoli, a secret organization of aristocrats investigating crimes in Palermo, a city ruled by corruption. Gaetano sets out to find the boy and punish the kidnapper, but his mission leads him to a place far darker than he ever imagined.
Meanwhile, Dante grows up in a mental asylum without knowing his last name. He doubts his mental health until he meets Lucia, a girl with her own tragic story. They fall in love and together begin to find Dante’s kidnapper and discover his true identity.
