For fifteen years, Rosario lives a quiet life under a false identity in Germany, running a restaurant with his wife and two children.

However, his quiet life is disrupted when his son, Paolo, who is eager to join the family business as a hitman, arrives from Italy.
After Paolo unintentionally makes a mistake, Rosario gets pulled back into the criminal world, and his life is put at risk once again. He starts to worry that his past might catch up to him, and people might recognize him. In the meantime, the Italian mafia sends a hitman to kill him, and everything gets out of control.
