David Raybourne (Andrew McCarthy) is an American writer who lives in Rome and works as a journalist at a small English-language newspaper. He is romantically involved with Lia, the estranged wife of an Italian Industrialist, and befriended by Italo Bianchi, a politically left-leaning lecturer at Rome University. The film recreates the backdrop of politically charged atmosphere and student unrest in which the infamous Red Brigades commit their spate of violent attacks which rocked northern Italy in the 1970s, culminating in the kidnapping and later murder of Aldo Moro, former Italian Prime Minister. Based on book by Michael Mewshaw.
