Synopsis:

He's called 'Toso' - the boy. And in the northeast Italy of the 80s and 90s, many are those who fall for Toso's boyish looks and fail to see in him the brilliant mastermind of one of Italy's most notorious gangs. Toso's career in crime begins gently; seeing the burst of economic activity transforming the once poor Northeast, he decides to carve his own niche in the local economy by setting up an empire of crime. While deftly eluding police inspector Bruno Ricci and his team, and playing off the Venetian and Sicilian mafias against each other, he portrays himself as the benevolent ruler of the criminal world. He prides himself in amassing wealth and power without loss of blood - a noble principle he is soon forced to give up. Ricci succeeds in putting Toso behind bars in a maximum security prison, but the fortress is no match for the resourceful criminal. After pulling off a daredevil escape, he regains control of his empire. But with his armed robberies, kidnappings, drug dealing and gun running turning increasingly violent, he is no longer able to keep the murderous violence of his enemies away from his own family. 'There's always a price to pay,' says Ricci. 'And the price of blood is always high.'

There's always a price to pay. And the price of blood is always high. Starring Elio Germano (The End is my Beginning, Romanzo Criminale) in a gritty crime drama in the tradition of the internationally successful series 'Romanzo Criminale,' inspired by the actual life and times of Felice Maniero, head of a notorious Italian gang.
