Romanzo criminale – La serie

Three childhood friends make plans to take over 1970s Rome by getting involved in organised crime. As their power grows, police inspector Scialoja struggles to bring a halt to their schemes - and finds his efforts hamstrung by his own colleagues.

Ice decides to reinvest the ransom money, but a bungled burial threatens to exposes the gang's plans - and the future looks even bleaker when Lebanese storms out of a meeting with a criminal kingpin. At the police station, Scialoja is frustrated when his short-tempered colleague Rizzo takes charge of the search for the Baron.

The gang launches a bloody bid to take over Rome's drug trade, but encounters stiff resistance from an intimidating underworld kingpin. Scialoja tries to get a new lead on the criminals' plans by tracking down Dandy's mistress Patrizia - only for his investigation to take an unexpected turn.

Lebano throws a wild party as the gang's confidence continues to grow, and Dandy decides to expand further into Terrible's territory - but his plan has harrowing consequences for two of his cohorts. Meanwhile, Freddo is drawn to his brother's girlfriend Roberta.

Lebano leads his associates on a brutal campaign to wipe out their rivals in Rome - but after forming an alliance with the Sicilian mafia, they become entangled in a terrorist plot to kidnap one of Italy's most senior politicians. Meanwhile, Scialoja grows dangerously close to Patrizia and Ice continues his romance with Roberta.

The gang members are thrown in jail after the police find evidence linking them to the Baron's murder, and rumours begin to spread of a traitor in their midst. However, they soon face a more immediate problem when they are confronted by a vengeful inmate.
