Spoilers ahead
In November 2011, Filippo Malgradi emerges as a calculating Italian MP pressing a controversial bill that would reclassify key administrative zones to clear the way for a massive real estate project in Ostia, pitched as a bold, Las Vegas–style city. This audacious plan is shadowed by his close and dangerous liaison with a powerful figure known as Samurai, a former neo-fascist turned seasoned criminal who operates under the cover of a seemingly ordinary pump station owner. The arrangement is not just political maneuvering; it bleeds into the financial backbone of the project, with Samurai maintaining privileged ties to the Vatican Bank to finance the venture for profit.
