Summary

Alfredo lives in Sicily, in a town called Corimpa. He leads a normal, even boring life until a series of events shake the very foundations on which he has built his life for years.
First, he loses his job. Then, inexplicably, Don Gaetano, a retired Mafia boss, offers him an opportunity to rent one of his stores and start a business.
Vincenzo, Gaetano's son, needs a special favor from his father, which will somehow involve Alfredo.
Calogero, Don Gaetano's faithful assistant, is Alfredo's brother-in-law and will reluctantly be used to grant Don Gaetano access to Alfredo's life.
In the end, Don Gaetano's desire to play God will lead him to act in a way that surprises everyone, including the law.
