1992: Berlusconi Rising

Politician Mario Chiesa's arrest ignites a nationwide scandal: Italy’s Tangentopoli. Follow the intertwining lives of six main characters–both the guilty and the innocent–as the political fallout spreads across the country.

Showgirl Veronica Castello is on the verge of a big break, providing her with the fame that she craves. However, the Tangentopoli affair stops her TV career dead in its tracks. Pietro, a Gulf War veteran, takes on the challenge of politics.

Leo is passionate about the task entrusted to him by Italian politician Marcello Dell'Utri: he must imagine the future. But a past danger from which he thought he had escaped returns.

In this episode, Veronica has a new opportunity to fulfill her dreams. Bibi must take over the responsibilities that she has tried so much to avoid.

All of the protagonists are faced with a major reboot in their lives; some have to take a step back to get started anew, whereas others suddenly get more than they had even dared to hope for. How will they handle these changes?

Police officer Luca gets close to Bibi’s projects for the powerful Mainaghi holding company. Meanwhile, ad man Leo undertakes a risky rise to power, while the entire country is shaken by a new and devastating attack at the hands of the Mafia.
