The Italian night swallows Elena, a nineteen-year-old student, in its glacial embrace. Her solitary footsteps echo, stirring a distant past: Leo, her childhood friend secretly adored, who vanished without a trace when they were fourteen. Whispers say he has come back, not as the gentle boy she remembers, but as a ruthless mafia captain. Just as a threatening hand grabs her from behind, a figure detaches itself from the shadows. It is Leo. He pulls her to safety, his intense gaze betraying a profound and radical transformation.
