Ischiano Scalo. A place where even the main road out to the nearest big town gives up after a couple of miles, where escape from a life of boredom and emptiness is almost impossible. Forced into crimes he never wanted to commit, Pietro reaches crisis point when his parents ignore his pleas for help and his schoolteacher turns her back on him – in desperation, he reaches out for attention, and finds instead a terrible revenge.
Escape from Ischiano Scalo comes at a price. Life there will never be the same again.
