About
There's no time to waste: in just 48 hours a fugitive can disappear for good! The motto of Deputy Head of Police Diego Montagna and his Catturandi squad is: “in order to know where they are, we must find out who they really are”. In order to do so, the squad must enter the minds and the hearts of the fugitives before it's too late. This battle against time will force them to face up to their own dreams, fears and weaknesses, because the only way of knowing the mind of another is to learn to know and dominate one's own.
