In the heart of the Italian Alps, the "Stonemen" face their greatest challenge yet: providing the premium cladding for a luxury residential complex in the center of Manhattan. This isn't just a job; it's a battle against the mountain. While the base office negotiates multi-million dollar deals, the quarry teams must navigate internal promotions, shifting power dynamics, and the constant threat of "natural defects" that can shatter a 1,000-ton block in seconds. From the introduction of a new Project Manager to the quarries to a desperate gamble on revolutionary resin technology, follow the journey of the marble from the deep tunnels of Carrara to the skyscrapers of New York.
