The Italian Connection

In the bustling city of Milan, small-time pimp and hustler Luca Canali finds himself unwittingly embroiled in a large-scale mafia operation gone awry. When a major drug deal between New York and Italian mafias falters, two American hitmen, Dave Catania and Frank Webster, are sent to Milan with a singular mission: eliminate the person held responsible. Unknown to him, Luca becomes their target due to a setup implicating him as a mole who compromised the drug exchange. As he goes about his daily business amidst the gritty backdrop of Milan's underworld, Luca remains blissfully unaware that he is being hunted.

The Americans begin their pursuit, leaving chaotic traces throughout Milan and coercing locals for information on Luca's whereabouts. However, Luca soon learns of the hit after barely escaping an initial attack. Forced to go on the run, he uses his street smarts to evade capture and tries desperately to uncover why he's been marked for death. The manhunt intensifies as Luca finds himself not only against the two relentless hitmen but also tangled in his city's criminal networks. Empathy turns to treachery as alliances shift, leading to rapid escalations. Increasingly outnumbered but refusing to succumb easily, Luca's resolve strengthens with his desperation to survive and clear his name. His gritty determination soon sets up a confrontation that could change everything for those involved.
