With rumours about footballing legend Diego Maradona's signing to SSC Napoli spreading like wildfire, the entire city is teeming with excitement. And then, as Fabietto tries to figure out his identity, tragedy strikes. Fate plays its part, joy and tragedy intertwine, and Fabietto's future is set in motion.
