Die Studentin Immacolata Borelli lebt mit ihrem Freund Eddie, einem Sprachlehrer, in London. Doch eigentlich kam sie nach England, um nach sich um ihren Bruder zu kümmern, der zuhause in Neapel wegen mehrfachen Mordes gesucht wird. Schließlich ist der Borelli-Clan Teil der Camorra, die den Ruf hat, die Sizilianische Mafia an Skrupellosigkeit und Brutalität weit zu übertreffen. Als Immacolata den leitenden Ermittler für die Verbrechen der Camorra, Mario Castrolami, anruft und erklärt, dass sie bereit ist, ihre Familie zu verraten, wissen beide: Die Borellis werden ihr verbrecherisches Imperium nicht aufgeben, ohne einen verheerenden Krieg zu führen...
