Northern Italy is the cradle for a precious culinary gem: the white
truffle of Piedmont. Worth more than gold, the truffle is sought after
by chefs and foodies alike.
But this year, the truffle hunters are in a panic, as they discover that
their usual harvest has been stolen from under their feet. Inexplicably,
the bodies of murdered hunters turn up, but there are no truffles to be
found.
A young man from Tuscany, in tow with his aunt and her restaurant crew,
pursues the thieves through the hills of Piedmont, and discovers the
delicious wine and food of the region.
