Au début des années 1980, une guerre interne fait rage au sein de Cosa nostra. Menacé, Tommaso Buscetta, membre important de la mafia palermitaine, se réfugie sous un faux nom au Brésil, pays dont sa femme est originaire, mais il est arrêté par la police brésilienne, puis extradé en Italie. Sa famille (notamment deux de ses fils) et ses alliés continuant d'être décimés par le clan des Corléonais, il décide de collaborer avec la justice, représentée par le juge Giovanni Falcone. En brisant l'omertà, il devient un traître, mais sauve sa vie, se venge et permet au juge Falcone auquel il fait de nombreuses révélations sur l'organisation et les crimes de Cosa nostra de lutter contre elle. Cette coopération aboutit quelques années plus tard au Maxi-Procès de Palerme qui voit la condamnation de plusieurs centaines de mafieux.
