The film unfolds in Apulia where the God forsaken highlands of the Gargano region are fought over by criminals who seem to hail from a far-off time. It’s a Wild West land where blood begets blood, and a forbidden love between the Malatesta heir Andrea, and the Camporeale boss’s beautiful wife Marilena reawakens the long-standing hate between the two rival families. It’s a passion which proves impossible to extinguish, transcending reason and reigniting inter-clan war.
