Fonzi’s Law

Nando “Manicomio” Pentecoste is about to return to Monte Svevo: few houses built in the shade of the factories situated in Taranto and Brindisi, where once some of the cruellest Corona Unita clans could run about undisturbed. Pisso and Giordano, young car thieves capable of everything, are waiting for him, together with the town notables gang, lead by mayor Gerardo Santilli; Skùppetta, a dodgy junkyard without scruples of taking advance of his cousin Manicomio’s capture. And, above all, Giovanni, nicknamed Fonzi, is waiting for him, Pentecoste’s little brother, some sort of hermit who can awaken forgotten tensions: was it really Manicomio the one who committed a dreadful crime five years ago? And what do the new church’s undergrounds hide, a church built against the protestations because the area is subject to environmental constraints? While the town is immersed in the splendor of the annual Giostra Medievale, Manicomio’s wrath unleashes in a violent and vengeful way: blood will flow in the rendering of accounts.
