Directed by Arnaldo Catinari, the show has been developed by Alessandro Fabbri, who also serves as the head writer. Fabbri collaborated with Ilaria Bernardini, Gianluca Bernardini, Laura Colella, and Giordana Mari to craft the gripping storyline. Notable names back the production, including the Russo Brothers’ AGBO, with Gina Gardini and Riccardo Tozzi serving as executive producers.
Set in Milan in 2030, the narrative unfolds against a backdrop of intrigue and danger. Eight years prior, the formidable enemy syndicate Manticore obliterated the global spy agency Citadel. Diana Cavalieri, an undercover agent, has been operating as a mole within Manticore ever since, feeling isolated and trapped.
Just as she discovers a potential path to freedom, her only chance at escape hinges on an unexpected alliance with Edo Zani (played by Lorenzo Cervasio). Zani is the heir to Manticore Italy and the son of the organization’s leader, Ettore Zani (Maurizio Lombardi), who is in a fierce struggle for power among European factions. This complex relationship sets the stage for thrilling twists and turns as Diana navigates the treacherous landscape of espionage.
