Angela was born in Ballaró, a market district in the surroundings of Palermo (Italy). She was married when she was only 12 years old to Saro. There is a severe economic and social crisis in her city and they both opt for the same profession: drug traffic. To her, it all seems so fascinating, for she has a fondness for luxury and money, even though at high risk, mainly in the distribution of heroine. When she meets Masino, she believes he is a policeman, but she soon discovers he is, in truth, an assassin in league with her husband. Angelo and Masino start on a passionate and troubled love affair after Saro is arrested. She is so very young, but will have to face not only her own loneliness, but also a world of crime, in which the rules and codes unwritten as they are, however rigid and inflexible, are made by men.
