In the early 1970s, after many years, an American veteran named Dean Barry makes his way back to Italy, specifically to Naples, where he once had a significant relationship with a young woman during the Second World War. His primary aim is to reconnect with the son he has not seen in a quarter of a century, seeking to bridge the gap of their lost time. However, the reunion is complicated by the fact that his son has grown up in a very different environment—immersed in the world of organized crime and under the care of a notorious mob boss who also dabbled in smuggling. Dean must navigate the dangerous dynamics of this new reality to reach out to his son and mend their fractured relationship.
