26 agosto 2010. In Salento, una giovane scompare. È una ragazza bionda, silenziosa, misteriosa. Si chiama Sarah Scazzi. L'Italia intera rimane sconvolta: cosa può essere successo a una quindicenne dall'aria così innocente? Molte saranno le ipotesi che si alterneranno durante i quarantadue giorni di ricerca. Ipotesi che sveleranno intimi segreti e rancori taciuti, arrivando a costruire un incredibile reality show dell'orrore e del grottesco in salsa pugliese.

Dove abita Satana? Dove risiede il male assoluto? C'è una zona oscura, che si trova tra il carisma di uomini disposti a tutto pur di sentire consenso intorno a loro e le fragilità di persone insospettabili che vengono risucchiate nel cerchio magico dei loro adepti: è lì, da sempre, che si realizza il lato più incomprensibile dell'essere umano e che viene meno la ragione.

A Correggio, fra il 1939 e il 1940, Leonarda Cianciulli uccise tre donne, impadronendosi dei loro beni e distruggendone i corpi. Nel 1946 il processo alla "saponificatrice" ebbe una risonanza enorme in un'Italia che, ormai uscita dal fascismo, riscopriva il fascino un po' morboso dei grandi fattacci di nera. A fare di quest'assassina seriale un archetipo della criminalità femminile non è solo la particolare efferatezza dei tre delitti, ma l'immagine complessiva che la giustizia, la psichiatria, i giornali e l'opinione pubblica restituirono della vicenda.
