At the beginning of the 90s, the state was placed under siege. The new law provides, among other important rules, the harsh imprisonment of the mafia, the seizure of assets and the alleviation of the penalty for collaborators of justice. The Cupola does not like this legislation. In a very long and tormented meeting of the most influential mafia bosses, they decide to take the hard line. From that moment on, a war on the state is unleashed, with no holds barred. It soon becomes a national tragedy. Cosa Nostra is about to win, it uses the corruption and complicity of politicians, policemen and "friendly" magistrates. A secret negotiation is opened between the State and the Mafia, but when they set their conditions, they are demanding and unacceptable. By now, the state is defeated and surrendered. Only a few men and women remain in the field fighting a war which, at this point, appears lost. They are part of an elite team, they are called 'Wolves' because they move in symbiosis, they follow the tracks like wild beasts thirsty for blood and meat, until they hit their prey when they don't even expect it. They are "Wolves", and as such they are considered a pack; a single and close-knit pack. This is the particular story of one of them, Superintendent Matteo Alfonsi and that of other extraordinary men and women. It is the story of the Antimafia team and the... Palermo Wolves. ------------- Author's biography: CARLO SANTI he was born on April 19, 1963, with astrological sign Aries. He lives in the province of Padua.
