The Hunter

The setting is Sicily, in the 1990s. There’s a resurgence of the mafia wars, which took thousands of lives throughout previous decades. Enter the scene an ambitious young prosecutor with a head full of wild ideas, a will of iron, and an awareness that to achieve results, he’ll have to get his hands dirty on more than one occasion. His actions will reverberate for years to come and lead to even more bloodshed. This is a world in which angry boys become furious men – and cannon fodder at the same time. Initially, the prosecutor battles aggressively with his surroundings and the Italian government for his piece of the pie, but ultimately the man becomes a true fighter for justice who wants the world to be a little bit safer. This is not yet another television series about a superhero in the guise of a moral crusader who faces numerous obstacles and fights the archetypical bad guys – no, this is a story based on real events, and it explores the ever-changing definition of what is right and what is wrong.
