A drama series set against the backdrop of Italy's landmark Mani Pulite ("Clean Hands") corruption investigations, which brought down much of the country's established political class. The story follows a range of fictional and real-inspired characters — including politicians, a young advertising executive, a pornographic actress turned celebrity, and a morally compromised police officer — whose lives intersect as the old order crumbles. The series captures the chaos, opportunism, and upheaval of a pivotal moment in modern Italian history.
