Walter Presents: The Hunter Season 2.

Based on the true story of the greatest mafia hunter of all time: WALTER PRESENTS: THE HUNTER (Il cacciatore) is back for a second season and he has unfinished business.

A reminder of the premise of the series as a whole for those who may not have seen the first season yet. It’s 1993 Italy and the mafia are at war as rival families fight for control of Palermo’s streets, causing bloodshed of the innocent. After years of street-level arrests, young and ambitious provincial prosecutor Saverio Barone finds the guts to stand up for what’s right, starting with turning in his own boss. This leads to bitterness amongst his colleagues, however the chief of Palermo’s Antimafia Pool takes notice and appoints Barone to his unit.

Not able to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Saverio and the police organise a raid on Brusca’s villa.

Thus begins a dangerous cat-and-mouse chase that Saverio is willing to risk everything to win…
