Airdate: Don’t Leave Me

2022 Italian crime drama Don’t Leave Me premieres in a late night slot on SBS this week.

Deputy Chief Elena Zonin (Vittoria Puccini) lives and works in Rome, where she deals with computer crimes and hunts down a network of paedophiles responsible for the kidnapping and sale of minors on the web. When the lifeless body of a child is found in the Venice lagoon, Elena immediately investigates the case, convinced that it can be traced back to the wider investigation she has been working on for years. But to solve the crime, she’ll have to face her own past.

Episode One:
The body of a boy is found by police divers in the waters of the Venice lagoon. On his shoulders is a backpack full of stones, which suggests that he committed suicide. Elena Zonin, deputy commissioner of the CNCPO (the national centre for the control of child pornography) thinks that the drowned boy is the victim of a paedophile network that she has been trying to destroy for years.
