SERIES SYNOPSIS

This is the story of INSPECTOR LEONE, a lonely man battling the rampant crime plaguing the island of Malta, while fighting to keep together what’s left of his family at home, after the loss of his wife and the mother of his only daughter during a car accident destroyed his perfect family.

But Leone doesn’t think it was an accident, he thinks the organized mafia is deeply involved.

Drug dealers, serial killers, corruption, secrets and lies fill this intense show with gritty look, western taste and noir vibes.

Inspector Mark Leone is an anti-hero who has lost faith in mankind and doesn’t trust the justice system anymore. He knows the difference between good and evil, but he’s also aware that evil doesn’t play by the rules and you can’t get rid of the crime by constantly follow the law. Sometimes you have to step out of the comfort zone, cross the line, break the boundaries and deliver justice by the Far West code.

Leone is a man whose life has been devastated by the death of his beloved wife; he cannot find a closure because he senses that it was not an accident.

His relationship with his daughter Lia worsened after the loss of her mother.
The crime in Malta is getting out of control and Leone feels he’s losing the grip on everything. This is why he decides to take matters in his own hands; he can’t rely on his own department and he cannot trust the world he’s living in.

Leone is a man against the system. Maybe he’s a Don Quixote against windmills or maybe he’s David against Goliath.

Only time will tell us if his fight was worth it or it was just a feeble angry scream in a vast cosmos of violence and injustice.
Leone will fight until his last breathe; he will fight for his daughter, for his wife’s memory and for the truth, no matter the cost.

The rules of the game have changed and Leone is up for the battle.

Inspector Leone’s favorite story.

“When I was young, my aunt had a cat. She was living in a nice villa with three floors and she was spoiling the cat having three litter boxes on each floor. You know that cats, when they take a dump, they cover it with the litter sand. Well, this cat wasn’t doing it; it was just taking a shit and leaving it there, for everyone to appreciate the smell. It’s like going to the bathroom and then don’t flush. I was visiting my aunt during the summers, but she was often going out of town for work and be away for few days, so I had to take care of the cat. I knew when it was time to clean the litter box because the smell had no mercy and you had to scoop it before it was making the whole house smell like a sewer. The cat used to use the litter box on the first floor, but sometimes it wasn’t using that one. Sometimes it was using the one upstairs or downstairs, depending where it got the stimulus. The moral of the story is that just because there is not shit here, doesn’t mean there is no shit.”
