In a Naples choked by agreements between the state and organized crime, Patrick Lian is the hero everyone needs. Adopted at an early age by Mister Lian, head of the Chinese mafia, Patrick struck a deal with the Secret Service. Today he works for the "good guys" and firmly believes in justice. But there is still a long way to go for the man who gave up a massive criminal legacy. The real war is fought in the "land within," where the inner motions of Good and Evil give rise to the most violent earthquakes.

Torn between his affection for his brother Daniel, the memory of a childhood friend who always believed in him, and the threat of Black Star, a new and shadowy criminal organization, the light within Patrick must come to terms with the shadowy area that dwells in every man.
