“In the Hands of Dante” is based on Nick Tosches’ novel of the same name, which follows two timelines: in the present, a scholar named Nick is hired by the mob to authenticate the original manuscript of “The Divine Comedy.” He steals it and hopes to sell it on his own, reaping all of the money.

The second timeline follows Dante Alighieri himself, the author of the original story, drawing parallels between the two writers.
