Arriving on the eponymous Sicilian island with his wife and child to investigate the murder of a would-be informant, FBI agent Matt Benson (Harvey Keitel) attempts to contact the only person who knows the truth behind the killing - the dead mans eleven-year-old son. As Benson races to reach the boy before the mafia, its only a matter of time before the endangered boy meets the same fate as his father. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
