June 18th, 1982: The body of Roberto Calvi is found hanged beneath Blackfriars Bridge in London. The British rule it a suicide, but all of Italy knows that it was murder. Calvi's family spends the next thirty years trying to prove it. They hire famed investigators Jeff Katz and forensic scientist Angela Gallop to uncover the truth. At the time of his death, Calvi ran the largest bank in Italy. It was also one of the largest money laundering organizations on the planet with outposts in Europe, the Caribbean, and all through Central and South America. Calvi had partnered with the Vatican Bank and with famed banker Michele Sindona to launder money for wealthy individuals, from the proceeds of heroin from the Sicilian mafia, to further the Vatican's global anti-Communist interests, and for an illegal pro-fascist organization that had secretly reigned terror in Italian society for a decade. When Calvi's house of cards was on the brink of collapse, he desperately threatened to reveal his partners and their true intentions. Soon after he was found dead. It could have been any of them, or all of them. In Italy, can the truth ever be known?
