The Octopus

Corrado Cattani replaces the murdered Palermo chief of police Marineo.

Police Inspector Cattani fights a losing battle to save his loved daughter's sanity, after what she suffered (see "La Piovra", original mini-series). He loses her, and his only trusted magistrate in the fight against The Octopus.

After the mafia killed his family, and a number of people who trusted him, Cattani sees a couple of criminals condemned to light sentences only. A DEA team brings him back from the mountain retreat with good monks, to the evil world of a drugs-for-arms deal. Solace comes in the form of new affections for a banker's daughters, who look like his lost wife and daughter.

Judge Silvia Conti and Davide Licata are in a quest for vengeance against the Mafia.

Police detective Davide Licata survives badly wounded, so much so that his personal and love life will be affected.

Several characters return to the little town where, years ago, the police commissary Cattani was set up and murdered by the Mafia.
