After a 30-year career, Anne and her husband, Roberto, retire to a beautiful flat on the Italian Riviera. With most of the surrounding flats being holiday homes and left empty for a large part of the year, the area should be peaceful and serene. Except that it isn't.

Anne and Roberto's presence upsets the balance of power in the area, and they are left to the mercy of their racist, violent and corrupt neighbours. When the couple are savagely attacked on their doorstep, a chain of events is set in motion that leads Anne to uncover just how flawed the Italian justice system is.
