Don't Leave Me

The body of a boy, Gilberto Ballarin, is recovered by police divers from the waters of the Venetian Lagoon. Elena Zonin, deputy commissioner of the CNCPO (National Centre for Countering Child Abuse Online) believes that Gilberto has been kidnapped by a network of pedophiles that she has been trying for years to identify and defeat. She arrives in Venice to deal with this case together with Deputy Commissioner Daniele Vianello, the great love of her youth.

The little Angelo escapes from the family home and goes to Venice convinced that he can meet Elisa, a girl he is chatting with. Elena and Daniele, thanks to the information they get from Karim, who lives on petty thefts and knew Gilberto well, catch a shady man called Cioro who admits to having met Gilberto on the day of his disappearance, but he denies that he had killed him. Elena, against the opinion of her colleagues, is convinced that Cioro is not Gilberto's killer.

Angelo wakes up in a dark room. Elena gets permission to resume the investigation together with a task force created to help her solve the case and dismantle the pedophile network. They discover that Gilberto, who believed he was chatting with a girl named Sofia and convinced that he was going on a date with her, was kidnapped.
