The Pope is on vacation - but crime is not. Italy in August: sunbathing, the best ice cream in the world, and Dolce Vita. However, for Pope Peter, it means intrigue in the Vatican. When his college friend Giuseppe tells him about his simple yet fulfilling life as a village priest on the Amalfi Coast, Peter begins to ponder: could that have been something for him too? Without hesitation, he takes over Giuseppe's vacation duties, incognito of course. Peter enjoys his time off in the small fishing village to the fullest. But then his bocce partner Raffaele is murdered, and Peter's investigations lead him deep into the glamorous past of the Amalfi Coast.
