Plot

Mirko and Manolo have been friends since primary school. They live in a suburb of Rome where they attend hotel school, hoping to finish as soon as possible and become bartenders.

One night in the car, they run over a man and flee without helping him. After the initial feelings of guilt, the two friends discover that this tragic event can be an opportunity for both of them. The man they have killed, as revealed by Danilo, Manolo's father, was a pentito of the Pantanos clan, a minor criminal family of the area, and Mirko and Manolo earn the right to enter the clan, obtaining respect and money that they never had.

Under the guidance of clan leader Angelo, the two friends start working for the clan as hitmen, killing some of Angelo's debtors, without reflecting too much on their actions.

Newfound power and money notwithstanding, Mirko struggles with his conscience. He separates from his girlfriend Ambra and argues with his mother Alessia. After a while, Angelo instructs Manolo and Mirko to kill an ex-boxer who took refuge near Rieti. Manolo seems to kill the boxer without problems, but later kills himself.

A shocked Mirko decides after long consideration to go to the police and confess, but before entering the police barracks is shot dead by a gun from a car speeding past.

gollark: Also also, `def __str__(self): pass` doesn't seem to do anything either.
gollark: Also, this function seems to have no valid reason to exist.
gollark: > def indIncreaseCounter(tickInstance):Python convention is to use `snake_case`, not `camelCase`.
gollark: Just looking at this file here: https://github.com/mHappah3019/Tick-Counter/blob/main/TickClass.py> # creates an attribute called identifier and assigns to it> # the value of the "identifier" parameter> # creates an attribute called macro and assigns to it the> # value of the "macro" parameterThese comments are not useful. It is generally assumed that whoever is reading your code is aware of the basics of how the language is used, so your comments should instead describe higher-level stuff like *why* it's doing what it does, what an entire function does, unusual things it might be doing, etc.
gollark: Increasing the version number would imply that it's actually a significant change.
