Citadel: Diana Synopsis
Milan, 2030: Eight years ago, the independent global spy agency Citadel was destroyed by the powerful enemy syndicate, Manticore. Ever since, Diana Cavalieri (Matilda De Angelis), an undercover Citadel agent, finds herself alone, behind enemy lines as a mole in Manticore. When she finally finds an opening and the opportunity to disappear forever, the only way to do this is through trusting the most unlikely ally- Manticore Italy heir, Edo Zani, played by Lorenzo Cervasio. This character has a father who is the head of the Italian organization, Ettore Zani, played by Maurizio Lombardi, and is fighting for control with the other European families.
Citadel: Honey Bunny Synopsis
Long years after, a explosively dangerous past will finally catch up to them. Honey and Bunny will have to forget their awful history to protect their little daughter Nadia with whom Bunny hasn’t seen since she was a baby, from desperate claimants.
